About this movie

Brendan Gleeson delivers “a truly sensational performance” (Total Film) in this “wickedly funny black comedy” (Time Out) from acclaimed writer-director John Michael McDonagh (The Guard). When a good priest (Gleeson) is threatened by a mysterious member of his parish, he feels sinister forces closing in and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal Calvary.

Ratings and reviews

Hi, The cinematography is very good. Humor is dry and pervasive. Characters are all cliché. Backdrop is depression. Explores emotional problems of sexually abused men. Thanks. God bless. Aaron

This actor is so versatile it is hard to recognize him. He is the modern Rod Steiger. Outstanding.

Beautiful scenery. I don't understand the humor. Brendan Gleeson is extraordinary.
