‘Mormon Land’: Is the new Hugh Grant film ‘Heretic’ anti-religion and anti-LDS, really?

Is it too violent? Are the entrapped missionaries believable? Our religion reporter and our film critic size up the thriller — as a movie and as a commentary on religion.

(A24) Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher, left) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East), two missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are two of the main characters in the psychological thriller "Heretic," written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and also starring Hugh Grant. The movie opens in theaters nationwide Nov. 8, 2024.
