Missionary

About This Movie

So, 'Missionary' is this intriguing Super 8 animation that dives headfirst into the murky waters of Christian Nationalism. The director's identity is still shrouded in mystery, which kind of adds to its allure, right? The tone is a mix of dark humor and biting social commentary that keeps you on edge. The pacing is a bit uneven, which I think actually works—gives it that raw, unscripted feel that you sometimes miss in polished animations. The practical effects are a standout—very tactile and kind of nostalgic. It’s not just pretty pictures; there's a real sense of urgency to its themes. The performances, albeit animated, carry a weight that lingers. It’s definitely distinct, maybe not for everyone, but worth pondering over.
