Would miss it anyway, since we gave up on Gayflix years ago.
My wife makes me watch period films with her. This one sounds crappy.
Any white people in it?
Why bother watching anything the streamers put out? Who need to wade through woke leftist bullshit?
It's been a while since I watched it (at the Middleburg, VA Film Festival, i.e. a pleasant drive out to the countryside with dinner thrown in, just before release -- which is a fun way to see a movie).
As I recall it, however, I think you are a bit too harsh in your comments about the anti-religious tone. The Church is not the villain. The locals are confronted with an apparent miracle. A panel of elders, led by Ciaran Hinds as the priest, has convened to examine "the wonder." What sticks in my memory is that the range of opinion on the panel is quite appropriately mixed. These older men are not credulous fools, but they begin with the plain evidence before their eyes: the young girl hasn't eaten for months, yet she remains healthy. They don't see obvious cheating, although a couple of skeptics are suspicious. The others do not discount miracles -- their faith teaches them that miracles are real -- but none of them has actually seen a miracle. They would be thrilled to witness one, but they are fearful of being tricked and made to look like fools. They harbor a hope, but they want confirmation by an independent, expert authority, an outsider who is presumptively impartial.
These are not unreasonable men. They all admit that they do not understand what they are seeing. And the girl seems healthy -- at least initially, until the tough cop shows up. And then they face a tricky moral dilemma: the girl begins to weaken, but she still refuses to eat. Should they force feed her?
This is actually a scenario that recurs from time to time in fiction, and probably in real life. Hard headed, skeptical observers can misread the evidence. Harry Houdini would have spotted the trick straightaway. Village elders are not trained magicians. Even Florence Pugh's character, a tough minded, independent young woman with a commitment to the scientific method, Victorian style, does not catch on quickly.
Again, the Church is not the villain. There has been an antecedent moral failure leading to downstream complications, and that's as far into spoiler territory as I want to go.
It's a lot better than most of what is on Netflix.
