Review of Calvary (2014) by Martin I — 12 Jul 2014
Bleakly funny, powerful and wonderfully written Calvary plays out like a dark modern fable. The quirky supporting characters almost all have a sinister edge to them and the often uncomfortable humour works despite the steady dramatic pace.
Brendan Gleeson is once again brilliant and shines in what is a stronger second effort with collaborator John Michael McDonagh. Asking grand questions with a satirical zing, Calvary is as spiritually an engaging film as you're likely to see this year.
