Audience Member A real one man show to some degree. Depardieu delivers as always. Bonaire plays does nail the flightiness of youth. Gorgeous scenes of the rolling sprawling hills of the French countryside. You do feel pity for the Depardieu character. With that said, this movie just drags in too many parts for a movie that is an hour and a half long. Really felt like two and a half at times. Additionally there were clunky cut scenes that took me out of the movie a touch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review william k Audacious, and heavy-going drama that is more theological thesis than a mere story; Depardieu is excellent as the over-sensitive, painfully soul-searching priest, but the puzzling, irritating metaphysical content of the movie might annoy a more secular audience. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review William L Conceptually interesting but dense, and unengaging for the most part. It gives the impression of a precursor to the modern horror of Eggers or Aster (especially the latter, given the overt religious themes), but lacking much of the impact or relatability. (3/5) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/12/20 Full Review Audience Member Great Movie! Very challenging especially for a person with rigid religious beliefs. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/19 Full Review Audience Member Slow,slow,slow,slow and so boring. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A challenging, cerebral and disturbing film which will either enthrall you or leave you totally cold. Pialat has created a quietly complex meditation on faith and good vs. evil. Without any grand effects or violence, the film manages to be both jarring and oddly calm. For me, this is a powerful film that builds in power with a couple of repeated viewings. There is much more going on here than what one sees on the surface. A masterful and provocative cinematic work. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
