NEWSROOM SOURCES: NYT TO SLAM GIBSON'S 'PASSION' IN REVIEW TOMORROW: 'Gibson has constructed an unnerving and painful spectacle that is also, in the end, a depressing one... It is disheartening to see a film made with evident and abundant religious conviction that is at the same time so utterly lacking in grace.... What makes the movie so grim and ugly is Gibson's inability to think beyond the conventional logic of movie narrative'...


If the NYT slams it, then it has to be great, they aren't right on anything....

This review means that Gibson didn't just get somethings right. He got everything right. NYT writes a language that is inversed to those in flyover country. Bad is good, up is down..so this review means it's fantastic.
