For argument's sake, let's assume again that Zionist Conspirator and I are not the same person. Given that few people have actually seen the completed film to date, I think the above bolded statement is far too assumptive, especially given the director's prior work. We should revisit this once the movie is out and the full plot is known.

Well, again, the Catholic blogger, if we are to take him at his word, stated he had seen an “advanced screening of the movie. I agree, the director’s prior work, or some of it, is problematic, and one such movie was clearly a shot at the Catholic Church in Ireland and how Irish society and thus the Catholic Church as well dealt with young women who were pregnant before marriage. Of course this was another time and place and I guess reflected a time when out of wedlock pregnancy had a different stigma than it does today.
So I agree, I have not seen the movie nor seen an advanced screening and will wait and decide whether or not to see it once the full plot is know and others have a chance to review it and give an account of the plot and whether the substance of its message is consistent with the OT and even more so, Historic Christian theology. I have liked some of Russell Crowe’s work in the past, Gladiator, Beautiful Mind, and might see his work in this film, again, maybe not.
But back to my OP, the Catholic Blogger was only offering a review of the film and making a case why “Catholics” should not just write the film off based on criticism that is being levied against the film from some circles.
