02/26/2021 Interesting......did the conservative Abbot about come to the conclusion that the whole thing was a scam? See more 07/29/2019 The writer who authored the commentary on this movie has no idea whatsoever what they're talking about. See more 01/15/2013 Intriguing enough to keep one entertained, despite its slow pace, just... Legitimate argument regarding faith and duty for those interested in religion, but the main conflict here is whether or not its rotten. See more 04/06/2007 AKA: Catholics. The very good cast can't raise this one above average. It is slowly paced and downright boring at times. The whole story of a group of remotely located monks refusing to do a mass in English, preferring to stick to latin, is just not a particularly engrossing subject matter. See more Read all reviews
