The Missionary Position

About This Movie

The Missionary Position (2014) dives into a quirky confluence of faith and desire, all wrapped in a comedic lens. It's got this offbeat charm, where Jenny, a fresh-faced missionary, navigates her new life in Toronto with a blend of naivety and determination. Working at the Bloor Cinema adds a layer of nostalgia and that indie vibe, with a touch of meta-cinema. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it captures the essence of youthful exploration. The film plays with themes of love, temptation, and the struggle between belief and personal desires. The performances are earnest, particularly the lead, who brings a genuine warmth that grounds the more absurd situations. Definitely a unique entry in the comedy genre, with a perspective you don't see every day.
