The Quarry

I haven't read the other reviews. I guess they're not great. But there's a lot going on in this movie that's probably lost on most.

I found it to be a powerful character study where each actor faces a moral dilemma. It moves along the line slowly, thoughtfully, deliberately.

The notions of ontology, of faith, of redemption, and of truth are just a few of the concepts pulled into the story.

I get it's not for everyone, but there's a lot to find if you look for it.

No idea why this film has got so many bad reviews! Thoroughly enjoyed this film from beginning to end. As a fan of Michael Shannon I was not disappointed, and Shea Whigham was just as good as co-lead. Nicely shot, well acted film. It is slow paced , but that doesn't mean that there wasn't anything happening. It was a nice slice of life kind of film. Totally baffled at the negative remarks!

This movie isn't the best thing they've done but they're great in it. They have worked together before a couple of times and are amazing. I don't really think the movie overall is a 10, but the rating of 5 is much too low so I puffed mine up a bit. I hope these guys work together more in the future!

Shea Whigham and Michael Shannon are at their world class best. In particular Whigham playing the conflicted criminal who assumes the identity of the cleric he murders. The story itself is a slow burner with some holes but the performance of the leads are captivating.

The story is engaging because you see how one person's mistake affects the lives of others. The morality and also the irony in the story are remarkable, making the film thought provoking.
