Too much of everything

An Exercise In Nonsense

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

As a Witness that was shunned for saving my little boys life after giving him blood, this movie hit home hard for me. Its excellent and life like portrayal of life as Jehovahs Witness was difficult to get through as it confronts the person I used to be. Im happy i left this life behind, but it still haunts me. This movie is a must see for any ex JW or anyone studying with them. And as you can see, the comments left by the Jehovahs Witnesses here, the cognitive dissonance is so very strong. Just like the mother in this movie, they are blinded by the doctrines in this cult. GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Writer-Director Daniel Kokotajlo's 'Apostasy' is a film that leaves you shaken & uncomfortable, by its sheer power. Kokotajlo paints his film with subtlety, but ends it with the impact of a sledgehammer. Its a stunning victory for the man in charge.'Apostasy' Synopsis: A faithful Jehovah's Witness is forced to shun her own sister because of a religious transgression. As the separation draws out, she starts to question the meaning of God's love.'Apostasy', which I watched last year at Mumbai Film Festival, left me rattled. This is a film that depicts faith & its fanatical approach to people, whose freedom & choices are repeatedly questioned or condemned. In 'Apostasy', we see a family of 3 women, a mother & her two daughters, wrestling it out in their heads & lives as their faithfulness to the practice of being a Jehovah's Witness. Its a shocking film, that never uses loud background score (just like Paul Schrader's Fantastic "First Reformed") or melodrama to prove its point. 'Apostasy' is quietly devastating as its powerful. Its such an emotionally overwhelming experience, that even people belonging from a particular faith or beliefs, are bound to be left engrossed.Kokotajlo makes a stunning debut. Kokotajlo's Screenplay slowly builds up, only to gradually pick up & leave a thunderous impact. Kokotajlo's Direction is remarkably controlled. This man deserves more work! Cinematography, Editing & Art Design are top-notch.Performance-Wise: Siobhan Finneran, Sacha Parkinson & Jessica Baglow deliver extraordinarily. Robert Emms is first-rate. Others lend perfect support.On the whole, 'Apostasy' is, quite simply put, a roaring motion-picture that deserves to be seen. Don't Miss It.

2 Thessalonians 2 verse 3 reads : "Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction." Just a reminder to all that this verse applies to all evil apostates in a general sense not just the garbage that is apostasy film. Avoid apostasy film at all costs. The Bible prophesied Apostasy. The Bible says it had to come before the end. Apostasy has been in existence for many hundreds of years now, in fact since the death of the Apostles. These apostates have not got much time left and they and Satan are desperate. As pointed out at the conventions.. Be courageous. Apostates like the director of this film are weak and gutless, whilst Jehovah's Witnesses are courageous. Jehovah's Organisation is invincible and Jehovah's People are protected. Keep the Faith people. Apostasy film is cinematic sewerage. Apostasy film is based on lies, lies, lies & then even more satanic lies.

Just about everything that could go wrong for a JW family actually happens in this sad but accurate portrayal of life in the Watchtower culture. Both the acting and the story are superb, and raise troubling questions about raising children in an environment of near total control by the JW organization and local congregation elders. This unvarnished and rare behind the scenes look bears witness to the complete disintegration of one family, and will leave viewers haunted by what they observe.
