Apostasy

Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Daniel Kokotajlo

Starring

Molly Wright Sacha Parkinson Siobhan Finneran

Anticipation.

A new feature from the scheme that’s given us The Levelling and Lady Macbeth.

Enjoyment.

Well crafted and noble in its intent, but perhaps would have worked better as a documentary.

In Retrospect.

Definitely watch out to see what Daniel Kokotajlo does next.

The dark chasm between traditional religion and modern living is the subject of Daniel Kokotajlo’s harrowing debut feature.
