Orlando Bloom Was Intense
This is an incredibly topical film with all that has come to light over the last couple of decades. Orlando Bloom was incredible in this part. He holds your full attention from start to finish and has no trouble portraying the full scope of emotions his character is dealing with. This film deserves to be seen by a much wider audience than it's limited release will grant it.

From someone who knows
An excellent movie about a very sad and disturbing subject.
Orlando Bloom's performance was so well done I believed every look and sound of his character.
There are so many people who are in need of help in this world.
My hope is that this movie will help make a change, somewhere.
Powerful watch
I watched this film while in Poland and was unexpectedly blown away. Orlando Bloom gives the performance of his career with another sterling supporting performance from Alex Ferns. At times this film is challenging to watch as the lead character is dealing with the repercussions of sexual abuse, however it is a subject matter that begs to be addressed and is dealt with exceptionally well.
Not What's Expected
It has more depth to it than expected. Fair warning: it is not an Equalizer-type film. It's a different category altogether.
Thinking about it after watching
This one wasn't easy for me to sit through, but in the end, it was well worth the watch.
Very good performance by Orlando Bloom, as well as by Charlie Creed-Miles.
They should have stuck with the title "ROMANS" because a certain passage in that part of the New Testament is really the central theme of the story, at least it was for me.
Most movies are easily forgettable, but not this one. I'm thinking about it long after watching.

Did you know
- TriviaThe film originally premiered in 2017 at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, but did not receive a U.S. release until 2020 when Saban Films picked it up during the COVID-19 pandemic. The actors Orlando Bloom and Janet Montgomery were really surprised when the film finally got picked up, as many years had passed and they thought it'd never see the light of day.
