I am speechless and absolutely shaken after I watch this part one of the The Boy's of St Vincent's ministries on Youtube. It does really show you what went on during the 70's where the Catholic Church took control of nearly everything. It was not just Canada this had happened, it happened everywhere during from Ireland to Australia, from the states to the UK, you name it, the Roman Catholic sexual abuse cases happened everywhere!
I honestly thought Henry Czerny was absolutely excellent for his role as Father Lavin. He really knows how to act as the original dangerous man you can find in real life out there! He needs an Oscar really badly for that role! I swear, his character made me want to punch the living daylights out of him, I felt sick and angry when he touched Johnny Morina's character Kevin in such an evil sickening horrible pervy way. Seriously I had a bucket beside me in case I was going to vomit, luckily it didn't happen but it was unpleasant. Although it was so addicting that you want to see more what happens and when the little Kevin will tell the cops. Even the priests weren't the same as him, god what lonely miserable lives they must have, well lets hope its kept that way so they can rot away like Father Lavin.
You would have a mixture of emotions when watching this film, it is not an easy to watch at all, it's more of an angry film that wants you to shout abuse at the screen or break something out of frustration. The first part really would be better then the second so don't do that at home folks!
Its such an excellent sad and angry part one film that I have ever seen. We will then see my review on the sequel:-The Boys of St. Vincent: 15 Years Later.
