7/10
Serious and sobering
30 November 2020
The subject matter here, following three men who suffered abuse as children by a Catholic priest, their search for justice years later and the scandal of how the church handled theirs and other cases, is one that urgently needed to be told. It's not an easy watch, but is astonishing in its detail and the visceral reality of its performances, and is brilliantly directed by Francois Ozon. It's an important film, though you might end up worn down by the awful detail, as it is unflinching. Perhaps too it may be a little overlong, but that's small criticism for an impressive work.
