Boring and Overrated...

Rating: 5/10 (29 February 2016)

Don't remember the last time I saw a film so undeserving of the outpouring of praise it received. 30 minutes into this thing and it was everything I could do to keep from squirming and going to sleep and doing the dishes and working on my own stuff. I am sick and tired of movies that use the infinitely compelling and tragic topic of child molestation to gather interest, and then the movie does not deliver the goods. One or two lines about a priest telling a little boy to do something sick does not a great movie make. If this had been a Clint Eastwood movie, I guarantee he would have taken us behind closed doors, perhaps even a look at one of the sick, twisted mothers of one of these kids that knew her child was being molested by these nasty priests and did nothing about it for whatever reason. And dear God, where are the NUNS??? Nuns are just as sick and twisted as priests if not more. And maybe, its time for somebody to film the echo of one of these scenes taking place; show us the priest going into the boy's confessional or something. And where are the little girls that were molested? http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ crime-scene/tom-jackman/priest-sentenced-for-molesting.html I am still waiting for a good movie about this topic and this is not the one. Though touching in parts, this movie is well written, well acted BOREDOM. Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, on its worst day, is better.
