First time on Blu-ray for this award-winning British 1990’s drama, directed by Antonia Bird and written by Jimmy McGovern.
At his new parish in inner-city Liverpool, eager young priest Father Greg (Linus Roache) clashes with his colleague Father Matthew (Tom Wilkinson) over his progressive politics and disregard for his vow of celibacy. But soon, Father Greg’s harsh judgement is directed inwards as he grapples with his attraction to a man, and his faith is tested when he learns of a young girl’s abuse in the confessional.
On its release, the film was widely condemned by the Church for its depiction of Catholicism, with calls to ban its theatrical release and boycotts of theatres screening the film. While some saw it as blasphemous, others praised it for its bold and confronting lens on the scandals and contradictions within the Catholic institution.
