This movie centers around an alcoholic priest who seeks redemption from something apparent only to the director and God. We don't get to share in that knowledge. We don't get to share in viewing a movie that even sustains a storyline. Picture a potato sack. Now picture filling that potato sack with 100 clips from different horror and substance abuse related movies. Now pick up the sack and shake it. Dump it out on the ground and stare at the pile for 90 minutes. You just watched this movie. I can only assume you now feel confused, annoyed and rather angry that you have wasted what could have been time spent wisely. Trust me on this. Skip this mess. I swear it made me less smart for having sat through it.
A previous reviewer spent time detailing the scenes in the movie, most in regard to water related scenes, that were inaccurate in his/her view. Yet the inaccuracies were the entire point. I think this is summed up quite magnificently at the end of this gem of a movie.
In my opinion, any movie made in the last 10 years that has you reviewing it in your mind for a period of time after viewing it, has merit. In this age of predictable, cookie cutter movies and prequels, sequels etc., an original screenplay and story with thought behind it is a unicorn. Loved it.
