Two Mormon missionaries go knocking on the wrong door. The man who answers challenges their ideologies and puts them through a trial of faith. Hugh Grant digs into this role and relishes in it with utter glee. A lot of the film is steeped in mystery and creates an atmosphere dripping with tension and unease which I dare not spoil. I urge the viewer not to watch the trailers because it takes away so much of the ambiguity. As a bit of dark escapism from the world, I enjoyed getting lost in the philosophical discussions and found myself enraptured from beginning to end.

Why does psychotic Hugh Grant feel like the most sincere Hugh Grant? Really want to see this.
He's having a fun late stage in his career where he doesn't seem to give a fuck anymore. Feels like an act of rebel from his romcom days.
