Interesting Subject/Average Execution
PostedDecember 24, 2008

from Phoenix, AZ
First, the positive notes: the subject matter is thought provoking, and the acting and screenplay are mostly excellent (except Amy Adams). The movie is not so much the "so called" abuse by the priest, but the interpretation of events by individuals that are colored by social and personal filters. The downside: the social constraints expressed are interpreted with a "modern" sensibility-case in point-no nun, no matter how much we would like we to by today's standards, would have been able to influence change in the 1960's Catholic Church. One last bone to pick, I can't stand when the dramatic points are all punctuated by storms and when a gloomy film has nothing but gloomy weather and darkness in it....to obvious.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
