09/08/2020 An excellent film: The photography is classic. The setting is simple and forceful. The music is perfect. The acting is top drawer. Who cares if the script is simplistic. It doesn't matter, because all the other elements of a great film carry the day. See more victor o 02/04/2020 Interesting movie. Basically this qualifies an example of high-end European cinema. It's not bad but not great, but what it lacks in popularity is a complex and involving story-telling. A priest is summoned to an International Monetary Fund conference that becomes a mysterious death that becomes the centerpiece of the movie. Before the man died, he made a confession to the priest. Caught up between attempting to help find out the truth as well as following his duty in keeping the seal of confession, the priest is certainly in a tight spot. All the while various other characters from the politicians to other prominent guests are depicted here. It is interesting but I wouldn't want to watch again. I like the acting from the man who plays the priest as well as the Italian minister. I'm a big fan of Connie Nielsen and was happy to watch her in this.

See more 11/25/2018 A slow moving think piece. While anti-capitalist themes are fairly common in films abroad, here in the US, it's something of a rarity. Especially, given the unholy alliance between Christianity and the free market that is assumed in America, the Monk's POV was a refreshing take down of consumerism See more 08/02/2018 Pretty pictures. Great music. Tons of philosophy and symbolism. I liked the ending... See more Read all reviews
