*** This review may contain spoilers ***
McDonagh's 2014 drama about a death-threat on priest Gleeson during a confession has its worthy moments of dark humor, clever dialogue and beautiful settings, but what's the point of a whodunnit if you can easily spot who the culprit is in the first act? Another flaw, aside from the lack of mystery, is the amount of boring suspects. Still, Gleeson's portrayal of a dedicated priest trying to shepherd his lost community in an attempt to give purpose to his life (whether or not he actually comes out of the conflict alive) is compelling enough to keep you interested in this flawed but sophisticated outing.
