Just Believe
Directed by Alessandro Aronadio1h 40m2018
The owner of a dilapidated B&B has an idea: in order to dodge bankruptcy, he has to turn his business into a place of worship—a tax-free activity, where he'll host pilgrims in exchange for a generous donation. He joins forces with an unscrupulous accountant and a failed novelist to come up with his new religion.
Our read: Just Believe (2018) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Warm, kinetic, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
