Atonement in Chicago
17 February 2024
Here's a fun tale of redemption. Two souls Ava Moriarty and Father Radovan are trying to atone for their past. We learn Ava's career as an art scholar was derailed by a tragic event many years prior. To pay down a related mafia obligation, she reluctantly takes on fetish work. She's a dominatrix with a high IQ and low body count; the perfect combination to charm and uncover priest Radovan's dark secrets.

Overall this indie romantic comedy works well, despite pacing issues. Some scenes could have been edited for greater efficiently. Nonetheless, it's fun watching Ava and Radovan break down each other's emotional walls and fall in love.
