How can you get revenge when it's the world that's evil, not just one villain?

This movie is powerful, eloquent and the darkest comedy I've ever encountered. Do yourself a favour and watch it.

For the most part this was an excellent. The only complaints about the film I had are fairly minor when compared to the overall film. First, the non-believers were mostly portrayed as undesirables and extremely immoral. The implication that a man of faith seemed to be the only person that had a moral compass available to him is really unfair and untrue. Second, at times when the film wanted to tackle a new question the scene setting just felt a bit too .... obvious. "Ok, we see what you are doing here".

Calvary was fantastic. It covered some very weighty subject matter, while still managing to have some very bleak and dark comedic moments. The film was beautifully shot and had an outstanding cast of characters, with a particularly great performance by Brendan Gleeson. The eventual reveal of the antagonist wasn't foreshadowed by any of their previous interactions at all though, leading to a not completely satisfying ending.

La irrelevancia del religioso. Un hombre que lo intentó hasta casi el final, sin marcar la vida de nadie realmente. Le tira palos a todos, con un humor tremendo. Me ha fascinado.

After watching the trailer I was expecting a much more violent film. However, that was not the case at all. The movie is incredibly well thought out and the performances are all fantastic. One of the better films I've seen this year.

Edgy and provocative, Calvary is a gritty character drama. The story follows a Catholic priest who’s faced with a moral dilemma when he receives a death threat from a confessor who suffered sexual abuse as a child and holds the Church responsible. Brendan Gleeson gives an incredible performance that has a lot of nuance and depth. And, the characters are especially well-written and feel real. However, the priest comes off as rather ineffective; which could be the point, but weakens the character. Also, the threat ends up getting pushed into the background and loses its urgency once the film gets caught up in the townspeople and the priest’s routine. While Calvary deals some very powerful themes, it has a little trouble staying focused.
