Not a ‘must watch’ tower
The trailer really wets the appetite and if like me, you were expecting a lengthy legal battle with a dose of moral dilemma and lashings of emotion, you will be disappointed. The JW blood element is short and fleeting as the film concentrated more on the marriage problems between ET & ST, who perform fantastically as ever btw, and the wild infatuations of a confused boy. There was some misrepresentation of JW’s, the Kingdom Hall didn’t look like any I had ever set foot in, it painted a biased picture of people’s interpretation of faith and there language and terminology felt archaic and old testamenty. There are few a divisive topics as refusing blood transfusions for minors based on religious faith and this particular showing didn’t leave me or my party much to deliberate on after the credits. Overall, a missed opportunity and a waste of a fine cast.
