Father James joined the Catholic Church late in life and is a good man, quietly trying to make the world a better place. When his life is threatened during confession, his attempts to reach out to those in the community become increasingly difficult, as dark, foreboding forces close in around him.
John Michael McDonagh’s singular brand of gallows humor, so effective in The Guard, takes on an existential flavor in this piercing examination of faith in crisis. With a towering lead performance from Brendan Gleeson, Calvary is a boisterously mordant comedy that puts the big questions to God.
