What critics are saying about Under the Banner of Heaven

Andrew Garfield in Under the Banner of Heaven (2022).Watching the relationship evolve between these two excellent actors is one of the most rewarding aspects of Under the Banner of Heaven, and their cultural perspectives freshen up a show that can be tiresomely generic in its approach, with its tremulous handheld camerawork and murky palette. There’s more than enough material here for a miniseries, but it’s the introduction of a third timeline that really causes problems.
