Finally got around to watching this. It is currently showing on Starz "On Demand".
This movie is good. Really good. At first I thought it was just going to be about a preist being put on trial by the catholic church but it is so much more than that. The film is not actually about weather a preist is or is not guilty of the crimes for which he is being accused, but the consequences of the accusations themselves. It does not spoon-feed details so as to leave you absolutely certain one way or the other; it leaves these answers to the imagination. These are the movies I love to watch. I give the casting, acting, story, and directing all an A. It is/was originally a play written by the same person who wrote/directed the film, John Patrick Shanley.
While I highly recommend this movie, I must admit, it is not for everyone.
8.8/10 (after one watch).
