Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews, an endorsement from the greatest documentary filmmaker of all time, and an Academy Award nomination, I just couldn’t bear to get through this movie; I think we shut it down about 15 minutes in.

An even handed portrayal of contemporary American evangelicalism? Sure. Valuable insight into a potent American political movement? Looks like it. But any documentary featuring a woman whose only wish is for the christian youth of our country to be as God-crazed as the sons of suicide bombers and 9/11 hijackers isn’t one I’m going to be able to stomach.
