Coincidentally, this also describes the film. Who'd've thought a biopic about an 18th-century christian cult-leader could be so monotonous? Persistently murky cinematography, annoying voiceover, stilted dialogue and pacing, execrable music. Are period costumes and muddy-1700s-village set design that impressive to some people? Fastvold's previous effort, "The World to Come", shared many of these shortcomings, so I'd have to describe her directorial record as unimpressive.
"This is very disappointing."
