Calvary
AroView: Brendan Gleeson stars in this towering Irish drama from director John Michael McDonagh (The Guard) as a decent but jaded Catholic priest who becomes marked for death to pay for the sins of a deceased sexual predator from the clergy.
Black comedy and thoughtful drama wrestle like a Catholic conscience in a film that delivers a bombshell statement about Irish trauma, faith, power and redemption.
“Anchored by a truly sensational performance from Gleeson, this unexpected blend of passion play, detective story, rural comedy and serious inquiry into faith is destined for classic status.” ~Total Film
