I enjoyed this movie, not because it was gripping or exciting, but because of what it had to say.
I'm not completely aware of everything to do with the Catholic Church, but the controversy in this movie is a necessary one.
I've never seen a Gael Garcia movie before and I thought this was good. The most powerful part of the movie is what it leaves you with - the message at the end; the themes of confession, of sin, of mistakes, of being human.
If you can't watch something that is quite slow and is not edge of the seat stuff, then forget it. Even the music isn't very memorable. But the movie stuck in my mind.
