Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

sol- Aptly titled, this American documentary details how the Catholic Church turned a blind eye to one of its priests molesting children, instead opting to move him from parish to parish, only for him to re-offend. While the subject matter is grim, the film irably never once comes across as angry and it is a refreshingly unbiased affair given the controversial topic. As director Amy Berg includes both involves with the priest in question, his victims and their families, it is left up to the individual viewer to judge whether or not he feels remorse. As the priest in question, Father Oliver O'Grady makes for a fascinating (if deplorable) interviewee, lamenting the fact that he felt a "need to reach out to someone" and agreeing that his actions were wrong; "my life has been a failure" he candidly its. Berg leaves the most heartbreaking moments for the victim's families though with one distraught father regretting that he told his daughter that he would kill anyone whoever hurt her - something she took literally and therefore as a child decided never to speak up. The documentary loses some focus towards the end, going off on a tangent about celibacy leading to child abuse (an unlikely connection that has been hypothesised but never yet proved); the film could have also benefited from O'Grady having more screen time. This is, however, chiefly a film about his victims and their families rather than O'Grady himself, and considering this, the film leaves an indelible impact, and remarkably so given the restraint Berg shows towards getting angry about what happened.

Diana Disturbing but enlightening documentary which takes you into the mind of a sexual predator at the highest level: the Catholic priest. A must-see for anyone who is interested in how the Catholic church handles allegations of sexual abuse in the church and how the long- term effects of its victims. The documentary details just how deep the rabbit hole goes in the cover-up these heinous crimes in order protect the reputation of the Catholic church. This is a balanced, well-made documentary which includes both personal testimonies and courtroom depositions. You get a true insight into the psyche of both the victim and the predator, and you want to keep following the lives of these people past the conclusion. An excellent documentary if you can handle it!

PopCulturedwithMovieMike Deliver Us From Evil is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. In fact, it might be one the best movies period. I watching Ebert & Roeper review this film back in 2006. I wanted to see it, but since documentaries are hard to find in the theater, I had to wait until it came out on DVD. One thing led to another and I totally forgot about the movie. Recently, I started thinking about it again but I couldn't the name. I'm glad I tracked it down because it is truly an amazing film. I'm a Catholic and went to Catholic schools from Kindergarten through high school. That being said, you don't have to be Catholic to watch this film. You don't even have to be religious. Simply put, everybody should see this movie. For those who don't know, Deliver Us From Evil chronicles pedophile priest Oliver O' Grady. The film soon unfolds into a decades long conspiracy by the church to cover up O 'Grady's actions. The scary thing about this film is that you're not really sure who the bigger villain is. Is it Father O' Grady, a priest who rapes and molests children? Or is the true villain the Bishops and Monsignors who turned a blind eye and just moved O' Grady from parish to parish. Possibly the most disturbing aspect of the film is that while watching Father O' Grady discuss his actions, it's hard to tell if he really believes that what he did was wrong. He's so matter of fact and creepy, you just want to jump through the TV and strangle him. Deliver Us From Evil is shocking in the sense of how high up the conspiracy goes. The Pope is literally an accomplice in cases such at this. More than anything, the one theme I came away with after watching Deliver Us From Evil is that the Church is a business, and just like everything else in the world, is wrapped up in politics more than anything else.

jzappa Harboring Impure Thoughts is a sin in the mores of the Catholic Church. If one is attracted to a person sexually, a man, a woman, at whatever age, one also associates that quality with the object of even the most conventional Catholic marriage. So to a man who from the start of his sexual growth is trained as a Catholic priest, what's the difference between an object of pure lust and an object of affection? The danger, in turn, is not merely a danger to his own self but a danger to those objects of lust and affection of his. What's more, religion is extremely important to many people in all cultures. These people have children, who are raised with an obedient, conventional moral code that links inscrutability with their elders, whose trust is very easy for a neighborhood priest, their nearest connection with God, to acquire.Watching Amy Berg's effective documentary Deliver Us from Evil is a compelling encounter. Her interview cases betray to the camera virtually insufferable stratums of grief, and its audience goes home feeling both bewilderment and anger. There is an integral interview subject who is an Irish Catholic priest who is undeterred by where Catholic orthodoxy has led his decisions to rape and molest 25 children who looked up to him, saw him as a father, and is living out his days in the Irish countryside. If any citizen otherwise had committed the same crime, they would be playing the role of the child to a much bigger, stronger rapist for decades. What is it about this ideology that causes people all over the world to treat related matters with superiority over everyone else? I suppose it is the centuries of tradition that is reassuring to society, even while these families are burdened with crippling depths of shame for as long as they last. The weight of their shame is directly related to that of the trust they put into their victimizers.The film is not an indictment of people who practice the Catholic faith. Not by any means. It is a buoy for the devoutly faithful subjects surrounding Father Oliver O'Grady, who in the 1970s and '80s committed his crimes only to spend a mere seven years in prison and still keep his job, a voice and a vent for them. I know I haven't said much about the film itself, but the fact that I would rather talk about what the film made me think about should speak of the value of seeing it.
