For example, he uses scenes of going to church and religion on the whole a little too much for the point of traditional values. It wasn’t a huge complaint, but it kept me from loving the film…

Loved it, and as great as Ezra Miller is, Logan Lerman is better. He’s the only actor in the film who doesn’t fall into a high school “type,” and his performance is so varied, creating one of the most real characters in 2012 cinema. He balances humor, darkness, kindness, and introspection in a subtle yet powerfully affecting way. Aside from Joaquin Phoenix in “The Master,” it’s the best piece of acting from a lead actor all year. Terence and I will be mounting a campaign for him, and I hope that the screeners sent out will hit some emotional chords with our esteemed Academy.

I watched this yesterday and it moved me deeply. I can understand your qualms about the directing, but everything else is so great that it far outweighs that setback.
