I haven't seen "True Grit" yet, but my son Pat insists I should. This
article makes me want to, despite the violence.

It concludes: "The new “True Grit” is that rare thing — a truly religious
movie. In the John Wayne version religiosity is just an occasional flourish
not to be taken seriously. In this movie it is everything, not despite but
because of its refusal to resolve or soften the dilemmas the narrative
delivers up."
