This film is worth watching but please be prepared to be challenged by the moral issues it raises, especially if you are Catholic. I am NOT Catholic but I enjoyed the film on many levels. Several of the scenes pack an emotional whallop and yet one stands out in my mind: The scene in which the central character, a young priest, shares his heart with another understanding priest, one he has replaced, who shares with him "You have certainty of vocation". This is one of several themes in this riveting film.
As someone praying to be of service to our Lord (and far from perfect myself) - I found the portrayal of the flawed men in the story interesting. The main character tries to keep morally and spiritually centered - despite handicaps - and in my opinion that's worth tuning in for.
This film is NOT an indictment of the Catholic church or ABOUT a homosexual Priest. If you see the world in a black/white way, then this film is NOT for you. If you, however, see its greys (or other colors) and live your life focused upon God or if you are trying to be of service to him, then this movie may be of interest to you.
I ebayed all my "Jesus interpretation films" such as Jesus Christ Superstar but I kept this spiritual film. Its that good. Peace!
