If you are a catholic or went to a catholic school, there is something very familiar in the choice of the film title and the name of the character (Grace), but if you ask if there is anything more spiritually revelational that is embedded in the story, I couldn't find any. It is a very long and literally very talkie film with a rock like alien called "Rocky" whom I am sure is from an alien country called "America" because not only does he talks like one, he has also a very American sense of humor. My best take away is with the visual. A perfect and beautiful marriage between lightning and set design. Just gorgeous! Other than that, the sound track is also well scored and chosen.... Just to proof upbringing can be very deeply seated in your brain... This kept popping up in my head as I was watching the film: Hail Mary, full of "Grace", the Lord be with thee...etc... Amen! "
