With the industry in the midst of a sexual and political upheaval, Tinseltown’s most glitzy awards ceremony found itself grappling with its message.

Faith” Film Since ‘Contact’ [Sundance 2014 Review] By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 19, 2014 2:00 pm EST Mike Cahill’s I Origins might be the best science vs faith movie I’ve seen since Robert Zemeckis’s Contact. That is a very huge compliment coming from me, as Contact is one of my favorite films.
