From the brief snippets I've seen on Youtube, this movie strikes me as overly didactic and ideologically on the nose. Like it was written by a couple of theology nerds without a sense for realistic dialogue.

Did anyone else have this sense?

No, I thought it was excellent.  What kind of "realistic dialogue" were you expecting?  Context was the demon attempting to persuade this psychologist evaluator to do his bidding and to persuade him that he was in fact a demon, and so the dialogue fits well within that context.

Over man but not over the natural law. This is the key distinction here.

Angels are able to move physical objects. The angel rolled back the stone of Christ's sepulcher. An angel stirred up the water at the probatic pool in St. John's gospel, chapter 5. There are countless other examples in Scripture.

I agree.  The dialogue is excellent and is not "overly theological".

That's the point. Angels (and demons, despite their darkened intellects) are very intelligent.
