One turkey of a movie review

Regarding David Edelstein's review of Mel Gibson's 'The Passion' on slate (Jesus H. Christ - The Passion, Mel Gibson's bloody mess. By David�Edelstein)

That has to be one of the most ignorant reviews I've yet seen on this film. Really. I don't mean this as a flame. I can understand an "I don't get it" in response to many a film. This isn't one of them. Last Days of Marienbad? Sure. Eraserhead? Youbetcha. But even Roger Ebert didn't need to share Gibson's theology to be able to "get" this film.

I'm sorry, but this is cultural laziness pure and simple, and David Edelstein owes the audience more as a reviewer. By investing so little effort in seeing beyond his personal biases, Edelstein tells the reader much about himself, and precious little about the movie.
