Read Myles Werntz on the new Bonhoeffer movie. It’s a sober, thoughtful assessment—including important reflections on the relationship between politics and faith, both then and now—but there are also some howlers.

The one that made me snort: “If this scene included fireworks and a montage of Dietrich doing calisthenics to prepare for the weeks ahead, it could not have been more perfectly written for a spy thriller.”

The one he cut from an earlier draft: “This film’s relationship to the historical Bonhoeffer is the relationship of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to the historical Lincoln.”
