Duvall’s Get Low subtle and moving, but not big on faith
ANOTHER decade, another Robert Duvall movie with a religious connection.

In the 1980s, Duvall won an Oscar for playing an alcoholic country singer who finds God – and a second chance at a family and a career – in Tender Mercies. In the 1990s, he was nominated for yet another Oscar for his portrayal of a Pentecostal preacher on the lam in The Apostle – a film that he wrote, directed and financed with his own money.

While acknowledging that some students were harmed by the schools, this book shows these institutions also had a positive side.
