“Child of God” (2013) REVIEW

childofgod2

This review was originally written for and posted on Letterboxd.

Negatives:
– Differs from the source material just slightly, but enough to bother me
– Ultimately, due to a few editing/directing choices, I feel it misses the overall tone of the book
– Scott Haze’s performance bounces back and forth between “frightening; perfect” and “irritating; laughably bad”

Positives:
– Shows the lead shitting in the woods and wiping his ass with a stick. Gotta be a first for film.
