The disgusting Catholic-BASHING continues I see

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2018)

I wasn't sure about seeing this but for some great actors - John Hawkes, Rockwell, McDormand et al - and my fears were completely borne out. Not since the appalling August Osage County have I seen such a truly VICIOUS movie as this. Every character in this thing is bitter, spiteful, crass and violent. What is it with HollyWeird thinking this crap is what we want to watch? That it's somehow representative of Us Still-Evolving Rednecks in middle America? The sneering coastal elitism and over-the-top christianity-vilification is extremely insulting and tiresome. Replace "The Scene" in this flick involving Frances' character as a typically-condescending liberal shredding a priest for institutional sexual abuse and replace her entire dialogue with "hollywood rapists" vs "Catholic boys club" and it would be far FAR more accurate. (Mexican cartels slaughtering people at our porous border? ATTACK THE CHURCH. Muslims murdering innocents internationally near-daily? THOSE D*MN CATHOLICS. Christians being slaughtered like cattle in the Middle East? PREDATOR PRIESTS! What shameful cowardice, HollyWeird - try turning the mirror on your orgiastic selves). What a relentlessly ugly film - but I guess we who are sick of garbage like this are "unsophisticated neanderthals", an epithet I'm truly sick of. My advice: Stay home or watch on Netflix if you don't have any paint you wish to watch dry instead....or maybe real-time geologic erosion. Something, ANYTHING.
