I wanted to like this and I did to an extent but it definitely got a little boring at times. I feel like more could of been done with the church hating aspect of Martin’s (Farley Granger) character and his suffering could of been explored a lot more.
Spoilers:
The end also felt like it made the entire film very pro churchy and didn’t make much sense ? I have no stance on religion but it feels like it almost took away from the message of the movie, I feel like they should of kept Martin as a church hating man rather than have him suddenly convert at the very end. It felt just a little odd to me.
