Heretic

 After Paddington 2; Hugh Grant oozes evil again. I could listen to him talk for hours, he has the most wonderful voice. Here he menaces two Latter Day Saint Sisters, as to what his motivation is, that becomes apparent throughout the film. 

I was reminded of Jesus of Montreal, which got me into a lot of trouble once. Anyway in the theological discussion, blueberry pie, and a mellifluous Englishman is a very well told story that maybe lacks in the exploration of motivation when all is said and done. Maybe that’s the mystery though. 

There are philosophical discussions that I will go over in my head for a long time, that’s if they’ve not been implanted as part of the magic act. The question and discussion about iterations was interesting, and about memory as well. Are we just recalling the memory of doing something, what are memories anyway? Line of the film has to be ‘with great power comes great responsibility.’ ‘That was Spider-Man’ ‘No it was Voltaire’. There is blood and gore, and is that necessary? I don’t know. I did enjoy the film at least.
