The film is quite unusual in the sense that the main character participates in almost EVERY dialogue and these dialogues are almost always religiously tinged. This gives it a special atmosphere. The rest of the story is indeed quite slow and uninteresting.
Absolutely beautiful role from Robert Duvall. 3*

Where does faith begin and where does a personality disorder occur? Robert Duvall, who devised and directed the film himself, acts with verve in his role as a child indoctrinated from an early age, who then steps up to become a preacher with contemporary problems. Apparently so big that his wife, Farrah Fawcett wants to get rid of him. The inner spiritual battle he wages is good for a DSM 5 in today's society. All in all, an interesting film if you are interested in the impact/indoctrination that faith can have on a person, linked to the USA where many churches and religious societies dominate life.
