Donald Clarke Irish Times Not a shocker on the scale of clerical-abuse documentaries such as Mea Maxima Culpa or Deliver Us from Evil. It is a smaller story that connects directly with a tight community. Its power lies in its intimacy and, ultimately, in its cautious hopefulness. Rated: 4/5 Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian The nation of Ireland is vastly different now, but O’Shea shows this change was not inevitable, but the effect of courageous dissidents. Rated: 4/5 Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Hayley Jorja Film Ireland Magazine The humanity that O’Shea offers her subjects is the true merit of this documentary, and that leaves the audience with answers about the past as well as questions about the present. Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) The themes may not be revelatory, but the interviews are compelling. Rated: 4/5 Apr 23, 2023 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Sinéad O’Shea’s Pray for Our Sinners is a heart-wrenching and important documentary about the abusive Catholic rule in Ireland. In the wake of independence, the Catholic Church took over every institution. Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Some of the material here may be familiar to some, but it is no less heartbreaking. Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
