Twitter Capsule: Modern martyr tale, austere in style, sober in theme, but subtly elastic in tone. Few huge surprises.

VOR:   Evidence of rigorous direction, from a helmer who has rarely attempted a project like this. Unusual purview on contemporary faith. Style familiar from other festival titles, but still memorable.
