      Reviews 100% Audience Score 50+ Ratings Tim Carey and Justin Monroe were next door neighbors back in 2014. Over beers one night, Tim asks Justin (a filmmaker) if he would do him a "small favor"... would he make a short promo video for Judson Studios, a family-owned stained-glass company where Tim was the lead artist. Tim believed Judson needed something special to help them stand out among the 60 companies they were bidding against for a monumental project in Kansas City. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any artist who won the job. Not only was the project to make a gigantic window for the biggest mainline church in America -- the United Methodist Church of The Resurrection -- it was led by Adam Hamilton, a hugely influential pastor and author who spoke at President Obama's 2nd Inauguration. But even with all this potential "bigness" and glory ahead of Tim if they landed the project, little did he or Justin know just how much a "small favor" would change both of their lives forever. In this visceral, three-year race against time, Tim, a talented, yet unknown LA artist bluffs his way into winning the commission to create the world's largest stained-glass window of its kind. The problem is, Tim doesn't know how to make it. After a desperate search, he finds someone who might have the answer... a world-famous glass maestro named Narcissus Quagliata. As the fates of three communities hang in the balance, Narcissus arrives like a storm, and changes everything. Read More Read Less Now in Theaters Now Playing Buy Tickets

      Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Something about Monroe's approach is so intimate. "Holy Frit" covers so much ground, yet it is amazingly full of feeling. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Illuminating and fascinating, but ultimately overlong and incomplete. Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Josiah Teal Film Threat Holy Frit has enough personality for any non-art fan to enjoy and invest in while having more than enough artistic measure to wow even the most jaded art aficionados. Rated: 10/10 Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Karen F Outstanding movie especially if you are an admirer if glass art or artist working with glass. Very candid conversations and observations. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Stephanie E This movie is special. I loved the story from start to finish and learned so much about the art of stained glass! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Michael W A great story with great characters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Anne S A documentary about stained glass I thought? Really? I'm an action adventure, sci fi movie person but I gave it a shot. What a treat this movie was! The humor of it was the first surprise. The edge of your seat with the glasswork was another. The relationships between all the interesting characters holds the whole thing together. So worth anyone's time! I'll be recommending it to everyone I know! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Anna W Wow!! What an inspiring story of trusting one's self even when you have no idea how it will be done!! Amazing people and the development of their relationships, so beautiful. This film seemed to be built on trust, from the support team all the up to "the Devine". I'm not religious, but I felt the higher power alive and well in this movie. So good! Don't miss it!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Kristin S I saw this film days ago and cannot stop thinking about it! More than "just" an art film, it is an engaging, humorous (also touching) character study of a team working together towards a fantastic/improbable goal. Documentary films are my favorite genre and this is the best I've seen in a long time. Highly recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
