Disappointed. First of all it's not like this is news. I have known about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church for years. Haven't you all? Coverup all the way up to the Vatican. I can also guarantee you that as we speak it is going on all over the world and will continue to go on. I believe the Church will continue to cover it up. I also believe that pedophiles are drawn to the Church just like they are drawn to schools, to Boy Scouts etc. They are drawn to "careers" or places where they are lots of kids and "safe" environments that will cover it up or it will be easy to hide behind "authority". I felt the movie was slow and messy. Too many characters all over the place. Felt disjointed. I think they could have done a much better job with this very important subject.

A carefully scripted piece promoting one of the greatest legal scams in U.S. History. To date - not a single item of evidence has ever been presented in direct support of the accusations made against Catholic priests in the 'series' of organized, fraudulent cases filed in the United States. Using a media license to promote unproven allegations for a political agenda and profit? Not Pulitzer material.

Was expecting this movie to be good since it won best movie at the Oscar's this year! Really all they did was sit around in a office talking. Happy i got this as a free rental.
