Final Analysis: This movie has a very quirky and subdued tone. Luke Wilson’s character is very depressed making this film at time depressing and slow. He is waiting to die. His neighbor becomes convince that the Visage of Jesus Christ has appeared in the stucco of Henry Poole’s home. He thinks it’s a stain. A romance begins between Henry and his other neighbor, a single mother with a child who doesn’t speak. People experience miracles when they touch the stucco Christ.

DIFFERENT, DECENT FILM. GOOD INDIE FLICK.
