Donald Clarke Irish Times 04/21/2023
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 04/20/2023
4/5
The nation of Ireland is vastly different now, but O’Shea shows this change was not inevitable, but the effect of courageous dissidents. Go to Full Review Hayley Jorja Film Ireland Magazine 10/22/2024
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. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 04/23/2023
4/5
The themes may not be revelatory, but the interviews are compelling. Go to Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row 01/09/2023
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. Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International 10/20/2022
Some of the material here may be familiar to some, but it is no less heartbreaking. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
