Review of Calvary (2014) by Redowlreviews — 09 Nov 2014
Absolutely phenomenal. This film had me speechless. Brendan Gleeson and Chris O'Dowd are both on their game, and the directorial style is very clean and punctuated. What had me the most, however, was the powerful screenplay.
It argues for and against the many complex arguments that encircle the Catholic church without being too safe or too proselytizing, making profound statements on society, religion, and life as a whole – and sneaking in further commentary on art, wealth, medicine, relationships, and everything else that concerns the human experience.
A heart stirring score by Patrick Cassidy wraps this gem of a film with a bow on top. A must see for everyone.
