R.I.P. Robert Duvall
This would make a perfect double bill with Silence. It is more kind to faith, but poses just as challenging a question. Duvall delivers an outstanding performance. The character is contradictory. He is a bad man, but he is a devout believer. Duvall fully makes you believe that each is true and never gives a reason to doubt the other, even if audiences on either side of the religious spectrum would prefer them to be mutually exclusive. You rarely see a character this fleshed out and subtly complex outside of a great novel.
