Proverbs (2010)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The story is based on three stories from the Orthodox spiritual heritage. The first story, "Unusual Obedience," was inspired by a parable from the ancient Paterik: do not be proud of praise and do not grumble when scolded. The second story - "Mute Prayer" - told by St. Basil of Kinesham shows that even when standing in the temple, we often think about worldly matters, but at the same time we want to be heard. The third novella is the story of Fr. Pavel Gruzdev about "How Christ went to visit" but, clothed in earthly things, was once again rejected.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
