Audience Member Another great movie where I agree with the critics and not the general public. If you don't let your prejudices get in the way, it's easy to really enjoy this movie. Very realistic movie with great actors and writing. If you want to watch a deep and meaningful movie, check it out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member No se puede pelear contra nuestra propia naturaleza. Una imagen de una Polonia rural desconocida pero no diferente a las demás. El finalmente dejó en signo de interrogación. Me parece una señal para la iglesia católica Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/18 Full Review Audience Member Polish cinema decided to do something brave and show to the world this movie. The only thing is that this is not a movie about a forbidden love story. It is a movie about religious abstinence and human desire and how these both fight each other. It is a tale about human nature. Rural Poland is the setting where the movie takes place, with the narrow minded people and the church ruling over everyone. The movie barely touches those subjects while it is all about the priesthood and its difficulties, as well as it is about being true to one's self and desires. Chyra was quite possibly the greatest performance of the cast. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A stupid little tale of a priest who falls for a guy who isn't quite there. Meant to be profound, this tale falls very flat. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a Polish film set in rural Poland. A middle aged priest continues to struggle with his celibacy and loneliness. The film opens with the priest working in a small village and at the local home for delinquent boys. The story is engaging and well told. Among the older, teen aged boys (many looking somewhat older), everyone seems to have excellent gaydar. Everyone, that is, except for an attractive, unhappy, married young woman. And, for a small school/home, there seems to be an unusual number of gay boys. Several characters are partially fleshed out. The audience if left to draw their own conclusions about the motivations of various significant characters. The plight of the priest is sympathetically told. I saw this movie as part of the Film Movement series. It was an interesting trip to the flics. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A slow-paced story of a struggling priest who wanted to surrender to free will. As blasphemous as the story goes, the irony of the movie throughout questioned the whole roles the characters play. A movie communicated by a lot of stares and deceptive homilies. What saved the movie were the shaky shots that upped the cinematography level by one. The isolation of the Polish culture was also exposed with medium truthfulness and authenticity.
