In the Name of the Son

This might not be your cup of tea if you are religious and not able to stand people making fun of things (your belief being one of them). The movie itself is very dark, but is very funny too. The church has come under a lot of scrutiny for a couple of reasons. One of them gets explored here with a lot of gusto and a sense for the darkest humor you can imagine.

While it still is a drama, the movie could also pass as a comedy then. The child actor portraying the main character (besides the priest and the mother) is really good and the stabs at the church all feel justified. One can learn from ones mistakes and one should. The movie is not saying that church is completely bad, it is saying that going overboard always will end in a disaster (one way or another) ... and it does deliver us from being earnest about it ...
