In those, there is always a "good" and a "bad," and everyone gets what they deserve according to the unrelenting moral judgment of the story. Sadly, the reviews from the "morally superior" will likely be just as negative for Glasner's new film, as "grace" in their view is only reserved for the "good" ones...
