I really enjoyed watching all of them, all without experiencing one single boring minute, but I reckon, the problem with "Hope" for me, was of the fat camp thematic, which collects too much of unwanted humor aspects through several other (usually comedic) approaches to it. Somehow the notion of the fat camp is a tiny bit simplistic, yet loaded, and the story between the girl and the doctor could have served well elsewhere too. The chemistry between the people is transferrable to other scenarios too. And again, the body image in "Love" served to a much greater purpose and depth in the world of two-sided exploitation. Love, also brought up a complete new world previously unknown to me. Faith is definately somewhere in the middle, but again, familiar territory to an extent. Maybe not a Jesus Camp documentary extremism, but tickling those same nerves.
