Review of Heaven Help Us (1985) by Erich R — 16 Sep 2011
Catholic boys in the Age of Discipline - at its contemporary height just before everything changed with Vatican 2.
Pitch perfect cast, and brilliant pre-Entourage Dillon playing the same character all these years earlier.
The 60's were perhaps about the exposure of hypocrisy as much as anything else...so...was Sutherland's decision - Brother Thadeus's decision to can a teacher - was it motivated by Brother Constance's having finally gone too far?...or by the realism behind Thadeus's realization that the near unanimous applause of the student body made any other choice impossible?...and/or did he sense how the times were a-changin'?
