Guardian

Despite all three leads pulling their weight, the scenes only build up tepid dramatic heat and offer no real Rashomon-style perspective shifts.

Rated: 2/5

The right gimmick movies do interesting things to the form and tempo of storytelling. The wrong ones simply remind us theyre gimmicks.

One Guy's Opinion

Catholics know that in their sacrament of reconciliation, the penitent must recite an act of contrition and perform a penance meted out by the officiating priest. Everyone involved with Confession should be expected to do the same.

Rated: D+

Assignment X

Despite committed performances by Moyer as the desperate Victor and Meaney as the alternately concerned and bewildered cleric, there are problems that the actors can't solve solely through their work.

Rated: C

2022's 'Confession', is a film which, pretty much, plays out in real time and recently dropped onto Netflix. SYNOPSIS: 'One church, one priest, a wounded man and his loaded gun. An intense thriller played out in real time during one night where a vengeful confession must take place.' This is a patchy thriller which has an intriguing set up and which should deliver so much more. It's a gimmick movie which unfortunately doesn't deliver said gimmick. My confession is I should have given this a wide pass. 3/10

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
