Something happened to me last year, man.
Subtlety is not a strong suit of this film. Midrange (2013) from the mind and soul of Jason Fields is a religious film that wears its views on its sleeve and doesn't entertain questions. While there is much weeping and rapture, the underlying narrative is a rather mundane slice of life, making those shows of spiritual exuberance incredible. Graham Greene incorporated his hard-scrabble Catholicism into his works in a way that made the characters dynamic, broken by guilt and the certainty that their actions were judged by an unrelenting God. Here, a guy starts crying because he sleeps with someone who dumped a friend of his two weeks ago. Not exactly wrestling with damnation. A year in jail? Try an eternity in hell. Yeah, get back on the court. Maybe you could practice some defense once in a while. [The character has zero D. You probably didn't get that. If you saw the movie, you would have laughed at that observation. Possibly.]
