Scrubbing Off the Rough Edges

Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel begins his review of the movie “The Grace Card” with the following paragraph…

“One depressingly common thread among faith-based films is the way the conflict is watered down and life’s rough edges are often scrubbed off. It’s OK to put out a movie with a message. But rendering even potentially dramatic stories so inoffensive that they bear no relation to reality makes for middling drama.”

Do you agree with Moore’s critique?

How close to “reality” is close enough for a faith-based artist?
