Rated The Incendiaries 6/10

Brief and pretty impressive, although while I admire what it's doing and how it achieves it I enjoyed it less than I was hoping to. Quite intentionally, it feels very detached and talks around its content, as everything you know about the other characters and events is cycled through a narrator with an interest in telling the story his way and concealing the important parts. The plot, such as it is, involves a young woman falling deeper into a weird Christian sect, to the chagrin of her boyfriend through whose eyes we see the story. Soft recommendation.
