Calvary (2014)


A film directed and written by John Michael McDonagh.

Father James (Brendon Gleeson) a man of integrity and humanity entered the priesthood late in life. He plays his pastoral role in an Irish county town, where he becomes the victim of an intended murder. In the confessional box he is told by a man who has been abused, that although he is a good priest, he is going to die in a week's time.

This is an excellent film, The script, the scenery, the acting, make this a film not to be missed.

It has had conflicting reviews, but in my opinion this is a thoughtful, intriguing, suspenseful and beautiful film.
