The only problem I can see with this film is the length of it and lack of visual or audio stimulation which most secular audiences will need to get through it. Of course, the idea of the producer was to leave out music and dramatic influence to help people get the real sense of monastic life and find God in that silence. God will certainly reach people through this film whether or not it's perfect. I was in a cloistered monastery as a postulant and the description of what he finds there sounds perfect and true.
