Movie review
From Time Out New York
Nearly 17 percent of Americans believe Christ’s return is imminent and the end of the world is nigh. These doomsaying evangelicals who practice and preach biblical literalism—while supporting the state of Israel for self-serving reasons—are the subject of this provocative yet unfocused documentary. As eight years under a President who shares their beliefs have shown, the geopolitical implications are staggering, yet the film spends too much time following a Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land, limiting most of the substantive material to the last act.Author: Andrew Grant
