Well over three hours in length, and at best a masterpiece manque, At Play in the Fields of the Lord obviously will not enjoy a 20-week run. For all of its flaws, however, the passion and devotion of Hector Babenco's film comes through.

A thought-provoking film about cultural conflict, power, progress, and the dire consequences of messianic thinking.
