This is agonizingly slow; this movie should be a half-hour long. The college researcher puts the preacher in his place but then the preacher walks quietly away. The church members don't want to believe the kid, but they are not questioned about whether they believe what the Bible says about Jesus. The Lithuanian subplot could have been better used. Presumably the preacher's financial problems were resolved by the book and movie deals, but the movie does not call his motivations into question. Was the kid's experience profound or just monetizable?
