Review of Child of God (2014) by Jeffrey M — 08 Aug 2014

The critics who are dissing this brilliant film are morons who have not one iota of understanding of either the depth and complexity of Cormac McCarthy nor of Franco's noble effort to bring a McCarthy story to the screen.

I bet if I were to grill each of the critics who've panned this movie on their readings of McCarthy's books they'd fail miserably to explain the unequalled genius in each of Cormac's stories.

If you think bringing Child of God to the screen was a challenge, wait until someone someday takes on Blood Meridian for a movie. I predict that Franco's treatise of Child of God will become a classic in the genre and the critics now panning it will jump aboard that bandwagon hoping nobody remembers they panned it upon its release.
