Calvary (2014)

Movie Review

The protagonist is a priest who considers it his duty to heal his parishioners’ wounds and absolve them of their sins. The drama here revolves around such difficult topics for humanity as the crisis of faith, compassion and, of course, forgiveness. And the whole plot revolves around the fact that in confession one of Father James’ parishioners says he is going to kill him. To kill him because many years ago, when he was a child, this parishioner was abused by a priest. That priest is long dead, but the desire for revenge remains.
