It's Christmas and I'm swiping through movie titles. This films title was listed as Noelle and apparently starred a young Robert Redford. I REALLY wanted to love, enjoy, or at least like this film. I didn't. And it wasn't Redford.
The sets and secondary casting are fine. The story is better than good and refreshingly orginal. The cinematography was quality. But the acting... it was bad. I mean really, really bad. The primary actors pulled the whole film down to at best a B grade movie. The supporting cast had several moments of levity which if developed could have pushed the movie into the charming range. But unfortunately the moment would pass and you really weren't invested enough in any of the characters to care.
From what I've read David Wall is in no way related to Robert Redford. However he has either made a study of Redfords style, expressions, etc or doppelgangers are real. He doesn't just favor Redford, the likeness is so eerie it's distracting. Unfortunately his poor acting kept me grounded in the reality of him not being Robert Redford.
I didn't see it as either pro or anti Catholicism. Just people questioning their faith.
