The movie felt dull, though that seems to reflect reality itself. It’s fortunate the authorities intervened when they did; otherwise, Elizabeth might have remained in that situation indefinitely. The film leaves no doubt: pursue scientific understanding and disregard religious dogma. It functions as a type of indoctrination, something our nation safeguards. That's wrong.
