Tale
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of a strange man.. The end credits feature the statement: "No Generative Al was used in the making of this film.". Reed.
He is eager to discuss their convictions and hear the good news
Too eager. When the theology discussion takes a dark turn, the sisters are equally enthusiastic about leaving. If they can.Heretic is an intense, chilling, and frighteningly sincere discussion about the horror of ideas.
It is thrilling to see where each topic and turn leads the characters
I enjoyed the deep dialogues about myth, choices, and awkward topics like polygamy and Mormon underwear.Hugh Grant (Mr. Reed) was present at this world premiere screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. Grant appeared to relish the atypical role for him of playing a "baddie." He was well cast along with Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher, both also present for the premiere, for they all seemed to be acting instinctually and from the heart.
They were channeling part of their life experiences
East and Thatcher were once Mormon themselves, and Grant bonded with certain aspects of Mr. Reed. "I found," said Grant about his character's views on religion "that we had a lot in common." No wonder they were so good.
