Review of The Overnighters (2014) by Prosmooth — 10 Feb 2015
How Christian is too Christian? At what point does being a good person stop--and being reckless start? These are a couple of questions that Jesse Moss' new documentary asks. To its credit--I don't think it really tries to answer them.
These are questions that we each must answer in our own heart. A Lutheran Pastor in the film named Jay Reinke opens up his life, his home, and his family to the camera and it's our job to just watch and ponder for ourselves.
It's also a brutal film about an America that isn't quite sure who it is at its core. One of the best documentaries ever made in my opinion.
