In 1950, writer Flannery O'Connor visits her mother Regina in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Struggling with the same disease that took her father’s life when she was a child and desperate to make her mark as a great writer, this crisis pitches her imagination into a feverish exploration of belief.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a dual narrative, intertwining Flannery's struggle with illness and creative doubt with vivid adaptations of her stark, spiritually charged stories. It explores art as a form of prayer and physical suffering as a crucible for meaning.

What lingers after viewing is a profound meditation on the relationship between grace, brutality, and the creative act. The film challenges the viewer to sit with discomfort and find light in the most unexpected places. — MovieFinder Editorial
