I found myself reacting in very different ways to a similar theme in 3 movies the last few days.

I started to watch "Minority Report" because I remembered the technology was cool. But I totally forgot the religious aspects, which made me uncomfortable being atheist, to the point where I abandoned the show after less than 15 minutes.

But I watched two other favorite shows "Babette's Feast" and "Chocolat" that were even more overtly religious, and yet I thoroughly enjoyed myself with both.

I think the difference with the latter two is that I identified with/connected with the strong women lead characters and was able to appreciate the religion as being integral in understanding the mindset of the isolated cultures.

Is this relatable?
