Priest

PRIEST (1994) - Feb. 14, 2005
About a gay Catholic priest who questions his faith, this film is an exceptionally heavy-handed critique of the Catholic church. I suppose for those who find this subject interesting, this may serve as an insightful look at the church, but those who couldn't care less about this stuff (ie: me) are out of luck. But even for those who fall into the former category, the film is far too preachy (no pun intended) to ever be really effective. The performances are good, particularly Tom Wilkinson as another priest, but that's about it. **
