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."
