Review of Paper Angels

Paper Angels (2014 TV Movie)
4/10
Religion runs through it
21 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A decent enough film but, being of a non-religious persuasion, I found it saccharine and unbelievable.

(Possible minor spoilers below.)

One of the most unbelievable things was the extreme self-sacrifice of not-at-all-doubting Thomas. He didn't seem to struggle at all to be selfless.

There's a scene -- and I'm consciously trying to avoid spoilers here -- where a doctor is asked what someone can do about a medical problem; I was half expecting the doctor to reply: "Pray!"

On a minor note, the coincidence of a physically abusive husband and the belief in a "guiding hand", was a little sickening.
