Priest (1994)
9/10
In the name of the wholly viewer

Priest is an enthralling film, with beautifully acted and sincere performances. Yes it's gonna offend, as of course it did, for figures in the church, when released. Roache and Wilkinson, are the strong players, and with Wilkinson here, he seems to be stereotyped as those 'bold, go for it, say how you feel, take a chance' characters, as I was seeing some familiarities, with the late actor's character in the Edgerton thriller, Felony, ten years ago. What I really loved was the conflicting story at play, involving teen incest, which really made a frustrating choice, or plan of action for Roache's character. The.final shot of repent, and forgiveness, is one of the most moving I've ever witnessed. All in all, Priest is excellent British film making, with some pretty frank homosexual sex scenes.
