The Book of Vision
It looks pretty, but is it a ponderous pretentious slog?

Did He Watch the Same Movie?
A Hidden Life Hides Too Much of Franz Jägerstätter's Life by Shawn Storer
I found the movie addressed everything that was supposedly missing or weak in his critique, but perhaps he wanted everything spelled out explicitly rather than artistically and through association.
I didn't see the portrayal as contradictory -- rather it is multifaceted, as it should be, and this image of the Lion of Judah was apparent, too.
Whatever is received is received according to the mode of the receiver.

The real life figure who was evocative of Revelation’s triumphant Lion of Judah—who comforts, encourages, and shows the way—is rendered in the film as a docile, existentialist lamb led to slaughter.

Beth Gibbons / Penderecki / Górecki - Symphony No. 3 Final Movement
Used for the trailer for A Hidden Life; Franz Jägerstätter's beatification by Benedict XVI would seem to confirm that there is a place for passive resistance to tyranny at least -- swearing allegiance or loyalty or a tyrant is not necessarily an absolute obligation. But whether one can do anything beyond this? No beatification yet of anyone committing or attempting tyrannicide.
