Tedious, repetitious

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2017)

This could have been done in half the time. Way too much self reflecting and breast beating by Garfield's character. We got the point in the first hour -- he was having problems with faith. Yet how can any of us have any sympathy for someone going into another culture and act as if that venerable country with its own long established beliefs needs to be given someone else's. Hypocrisy at it height -- at one point one Jesuit says to the other essentially "why are they treating us like this?", ignoring the fact that their own religion was doing the same and worse to anyone who did not follow their beliefs. At one point my wife turned to me, and began to chuckle as she saw I was staring at the ceiling. I was counting ceiling squares. I would have left, but was with friends, who did not like it either, but they always stay through films. I love movies, and have seen some bad ones, but this is way up on that list.
