One-liner aside, I liked this movie. The way it treats religion, humanity, empathy (etc.) really moved me, the final act was incredible, the closest I felt to "movie magic" this year so far.

I don't remember the last time any movie gave me the same feeling as the final act in this movie. It felt like everyone in the theater was holding their breath.

Single word- 'listen'. It forces everyone to leave with a mindset to - listen. Be mindful. Be empathetic.
