THE APOSTATE- 2016. Synopsis by Netflix. “In this gently absurdist comedy, Gonzalo Tamayo finds himself navigating the baffling bureaucracy of the Catholic Church when he attempts to formally renounce his faith. Tomayo soon discovers that leaving the church is much easier said than done. In this coming-of-age satire told with a gentle nod to the Cohen Brother’s sensibility, the Apostate touches meaningfully on the crisis within the Catholic Church; a crisis that centers on the conflict between tradition and modernity.”
9/9/16- OK reviews with several critics calling it odd or different. TRDB.
