Seemed to lack direction


It just roamed around, following the everyday lives of these people. There was no beginning, middle, or end to this movie.

Still,, I rather liked it. Could've been so much better.

The beginning was how Arvin & Lenora became orphans and then step-siblings.

The middle is their lives as teens/young adults wherein Arvin is established as Lenora's righteous protector.

The ending is Arvin being presumably used as an instrument of divine wrath against (1) the abusive minister, (2) the criminal couple and (3) the corrupt cop, plus the hopeful aftermath.

I don't think it could have been summarized so concisely and accurately. Well said...

Thanks. I just saw it so it was fresh in my mind. I can see why the OP felt it was meandering though. The movie basically challenges the viewer to put the pieces together.
