Overview
After he is threatened during a confession, a good-natured priest must battle the dark forces closing in around him.
For the most part this was an excellent. The only complaints about the film I had are fairly minor when compared to the overall film. First, the non-believers were mostly portrayed as undesirables and extremely immoral. The implication that a man of faith seemed to be the only person that had a moral compass available to him is really unfair and untrue. Second, at times when the film wanted to tackle a new question the scene setting just felt a bit too …. obvious. “Ok, we see what you are doing here”.
