Audience Member Most disturbing movie I've ever seen in my life. Watched it on prime thinking it was a documentary. Should have been illegal to watch. The movie will open your eyes to what's been going on in the Catholic church for decades and continues to this day and show how powerful the church is politically with children being the collateral damage. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member If you thought "Spotlight" was wrenching, get ready for a real gut punch from this Canadian drama about abuse in a church orphanage! The first two-hour part focuses on the abuse and the second part focuses on the fall out many years later as the children have grown into young adults. The injustice is transporting. The always excellent Henry Czerny gives a compelling performance as the overbearing Brother Lavin, the primary motivator at the orphanage. Johnny Morina is brilliant as one of the primary victims of the brothers. The film is a bit low-budget, apparently made for Canadian television, but is nevertheless well crafted. "The Boys of St. Vincent" is moving, terrifying and insightful. Highly recommended. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member really good story and a great performance from Czenry Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on true events, this unrelenting (and often graphic) look at sexual abuse in a Catholic orphanage is both a powerful and well-made film. It's Czerny's incredible and terrifying performance as a tormented priest that really makes it worth watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I have watched this movie a number of times and now finally own a copy of it. I think that it is one of the best movies that were made in Canada for a very long time. I went through something similar in my childhood and this movie actually helped me to deal with the problem. The boys in the movie did an amazing job and handled the stuff like adults. I can understand why they needed to have child Psychologists on the set as they filmed this kind of movie. I would definitely recommend people go out and get this movie.
