My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.

Calvary
Director's desire to follow passions of Christ as close as possible deformed psychological veracity of the characters in the movie. But the actors' play is sublime.
Excessively grim picture of humans except for the Priest and the Writer presented in the movie is harder to argue with than an overtly Polyannish view of the human race but in the end is about as wrong.
