The Many Saints of Newark (2021)

The film features a minor character, Sally, who is subtly depicted in a same-sex relationship while incarcerated. This portrayal is incidental, neither uplifting nor denigrating, and does not significantly impact the main narrative or themes.

The film portrays Catholicism as a deeply ingrained cultural and spiritual force for its characters. While it highlights the hypocrisy of some adherents, it also presents genuine spiritual guidance through figures like Father Pat, suggesting the faith's inherent dignity despite individual failings.

The film depicts Islam as a source of identity, community, and empowerment for Harold McBrayer and his associates. His conversion is shown as a positive step towards self-determination and the establishment of a new power structure, distinct from the dominant Italian-American culture.
