Twitter Capsule: The best part is that it got made. Boldly uncommercial, defiant of genre, preserving of mystery. Good character work.

VOR: ③  Even Hollywood optimists might have to concede this project would never get greenlit now. Fascinating fusion of women's picture, illness story, religious tale, supernatural yarn.
