Calvary

calvary

After he is threatened during a confession a good natured priest (Brendan Gleeson) must battle the dark forces closing in around him. Idiosyncratic plot and bleak humour mark this script. Gleeson provides a wonderful performance, bemused and dignified as he confronts his mortality.
