I was excited to watch Apostasy, as someone who has always been interested in theology/religions the JW's have always been somewhat of a mystery to me.
The story line here is very realistic and well executed. Ivanna (Siobhan Finneran) is a devout member of the organization of Jehovah Witnesses'. She is a working class single mother of two girls, Alex and Luisa. It is a fairly slow paced film, no dramatic music or particularly shocking scenes, Just an overall feeling of the emotional prison these women are in and how terrifying a test of faith can be.
In some ways I think this may have worked better as a 2/3 part TV drama series than a film, but nonetheless worth a watch if you are interested in this kind of thing, if not you may find it a little dull
