This film is based in portuguese Jesuit priests, they could at least choose one portuguese actor for this. But maybe American-British actors can represente the influence of west europe in Japan.

I remember watching this when it came out and thought it was ok but after a rewatch I'm kind of blown away. This is a fantastic look into religion, faith and how far we will go for something we believe in. Andrew Garfield gives an amazing performance. Adam Driver and Issei Ogata are both great too. I wish they had more screen time. The movie looks beautiful and is incredibly shot. It is a little long and slow in parts but that's not a huge problem. Now this has become one of my favorite Scorsese's films.
