What makes Brimstone truly incredible is its unapologetic portrayal of how men have used religion as a weapon- twisting scripture and spiritual authority to control, abuse, and destroy lives, especially those of women. Guy Pearceโs portrayal of the malevolent preacher is chilling because itโs disturbingly real. This isnโt fantasy. This happens , across cultures, across generations, when so-called โmen of Godโ exploit the trust placed in them for their own power and perversion.
