It manages to get into those messier struggles of balancing faith and religion. The result is a quietly contemplative character piece, grounded by a characteristically terrific performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Ejiofor does valiant work trying to make that enough to justify the film's existence, and he almost succeeds. But I came away from Come Sunday wanting so much more.

While Marcus Hinchey's screenplay is occasionally too blunt, "Come Sunday" accords sympathetic moments to all its characters - a strategy that gives this chronicle of religious convictions a conviction of its own.

... a remarkably non-judgmental film about conservative religion.

Marston's insistence on presenting both sides of the conflict without bias, hinders the movie from ever fully delving into any true emotion or character development.

The movie itself, overall, feels kind of bloodless.

As Come Sunday comes to a close, you'll undoubtedly have more questions than answers, but that is why the film works so beautifully.

A thoughtful and enlightening if less-than-dynamic film powered by an exceptional Chiwetel Ejiofor performance.

A moving and intelligent drama about a schism that tore an American church apart, "Come Sunday" spends 105 minutes contemplating the nature of eternity.

It's novel to see it come from a progressive rather than conservative perspective, just as it's refreshing to see an actor of Ejiofor's caliber rather than, say, David A.R. White.

The movie that's happening in Ejiofor's eyes is far more wracked and compelling than the one that Marston shows us through his own.
