Movie Reviews of States of Grace
Movie Review: A Mormon film most Mormons hate.
Summary: 5 Stars
Why do Mormons hate this film? Because it shows the ugly secret they don't want the world to know and that is their missionaries are not perfect. One missionary in this film does the most unforgivable thing and that is have sex while on a mission. Most members would have you believe, and to be honest, want to believe these things never happen. But they have and they do. The problem is that these guys are human too. Some mess up, it just a fact of life. What is interesting is how Dutcher went outside what would be the normal LDS reaction and decided to show how wonderful grace in these situations can be. But understand while a lot of grace is shown in this film(because I believe it is how Dutcher would like to see Mormonism change to this direction) in real life this kid would have been treated like dirt and even kicked out of the LDS church. I know because my brother was. You can tell Dutcher was exploring his beliefs here concerning grace and forgiveness as shortly after release he left the LDS church. The members left him also hating this film with a passion(just read some of the reviews from LDS members here). As far as I'm concerned the LDS church was the biggest loser this time. They lost one of the very few intelligent filmmakers they had. To Mainstream Christians(of which I count myself among that number) give it a try if for no other reason then to see a Mormon explore how powerful the grace of Jesus really is. To those wondering how I may know so much about Mormonism, I was born and raised in the LDS church and left at the age of 33 when I became Born Again.
