Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Come Sunday (2018)

Carlton Pearson is a star in the Pentecostal world. He's a charismatic black preacher who led a megachurch of blended ethnicities: blacks and whites worshiping together. But, when he reveals his controversial new belief that God isn't sending anyone to hell, his star quickly wanes.

I first heard about Pearson on This American Life and was moved by his story but, unfortunately, this movie does not resonate in the same way. A bigger focus on the "before" could've helped us feel the full impact of the "after."
