Customer Reviews of The Apostle
Imperfect, but marvelous As fine an acting performance as you will see anywhere. <
>Despite many rewrites, they did not get the screenplay quite right, as there is no subplot and an inadequate backstory. But what remains is a thoroughly compelling portrayal of a morally ambiguous character, a fundamentalist preacher of extreme views and actions. <
> <
>Watching the movie, you tend to think, OK, I get the point about the preaching, I see how charismatic he is, now let's move on. Instead, there is more preaching. Duvall seems so wrapped up in the performance that he is reluctant to let any plot developments interrupt the flow. This makes it less of a movie than it could have been but, I say again, the performance is monumental and has to be seen. <
> <
>As usual, Amazon divulge much of the plot in their editorial review, presumably to protect you from nasty surprises when you see the movie, and many reviewers here have repeated the favor, just to make sure. I expect it's too late, but if you haven't read them yet, don't. Just see the movie. <

THE REAL THING!!!!!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST CHURCH MOVIES EVER. HE REALLY BROUGHT THE DOWNHOME PREACHER TO LIFE!!! (i really know people like that!!) SEEMS TO ME THAT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DIDNT LIKE IT WERE OFCORSE "THE ATHEIST" GO FIGURE DDDDUUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS A GREAT ADDTION TO YOUR COLLECTION
A second chance
The first time I watched The Apostle I was so shocked by the movie's violent turning point that it left a bad taste in my mouth. However, the second time I saw it I was prepared for this and was able to enjoy what makes this movie great--a sincere sense of a time and place for the charismatic culture it portrays as well as believable, funny, honest characters, many of whom were not actors. I think Duvall really wanted to do justice to a character most people in Hollywood would stereotype as either crazy or perfect. Bonus: June Carter Cash is the perfect choice for his mother.
