Calvary

Calvary (2014) – Gleeson is excellent as the good (if noticeably unspiritual) shepherd of this film, which is thoughtful but feels like a collection of issues in search of a real story—there’s a disconnect between much of the goings-on and the death threat (and it’s utterly inexplicable that he doesn’t go to the police), and it’s tough to care too much about who in this village of contrived, morally bankrupt “quirky” characters is the one planning to do him in. 5
