Romans is a heavy film about a self-loathing demolition worker (Orlando Bloom) who was once abused by a priest. Now that he's working on an old church, it's all coming back to haunt him (along with other timely triggers), sending his life into a spiral. Relatively low on plot and eschewing strict formula, Romans is more of a character study, and takes its cues from the book it's named after, asking whether we can forgive even this clergyman's act, and even if we can, must we? In no way would I place this in the "Christian" section of the video store (i.e. movies specifically made for Christians, which I normally find bland and cheesy, and obsessed with demagoguery), but it is definitely a film about Scripture, thoughtful though dark and uncompromising. 5 years 10 months ago
