Catherine Bray Variety 3h
This apposite demonstration of religious convictions being used to prop up concrete actions, spurred on and given fuel by tribalist rivalries, elevates “Salvation” from a merely striking mood piece to an astute psychological study. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Screen International 3h
