Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation (2023)

Review by saucie

Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation

1/10

Awful awful awful

Like previous reviewers, I had never heard of Gwen Shamblin.

The story itself was mildly interesting, but that's it. The acting, with the exception of Jennifer Grey, was atrocious. The sets looked like they had been built in someone's garage, and the script was choppy and amateurish. The wide-eyed parishioners behaved like brainwashed Moonies who hung on to her every word.

Just like Jim Bakker, Robert Tilton, Ted Haggart, Jimmy Swaggart, and other "Christian" leaders, Gwen became money-hungry and obsessed with her church. She believed herself to be above her own rules, and believed that she was specially chosen by God. This is an old story, told and retold many times --- only the names are different. **yawn**.

Don't waste your time with this one. Do something more interesting, like watching your grass grow or wallpapering the bathroom. You will thank me.
