(Kirk Franklin's) A Gospel Christmas (2021) -
As suspected this film was all a bit too much for me. I'm not in to religion and I don't generally appreciate the word of God. I don't adhere to a deity that takes attendance and sets trials to test me.
While I have tolerated subtle religious undertones in a lot of Christmas films, and yes I know about the origins of the season, I just can't bring myself to watch the ones that are too heavy on the worship and God-bothering side of things.
I only recorded this one, because the gospel churches generally tend to bring more joy to the preaching and I hoped that it would mean a joyful romance, but even the worshipping was over the top, I thought that people might start speaking in tongues or fitting in the aisles. It was too extreme and I could see that this film would not be to my tastes at all within the first few minutes.
I did make it all the way until about 10 minutes in, but could take no more.
Unscored as unfinished.
