I confess I'm Underwhelmed

I expected better from a film daring to confront such a theme. The agony of abuse shouldn't be taken lightly.

I don't feel like the message was communicated powerfully. It seems to almost victim blame in a bizarre way or could at least be interpreted that way given we have no information about the mental state of the confessor. The resolution is perplexing and unsatisfying which may be the intention but doesn't work well for me. I'm left rather clueless as to what I'm supposed to take away from this.

It doesn't help that I recently watched the film El Club which deals with these themes in a far more thought provoking way. I highly recommend that film.

disturbing

It is the sort of film provocative in profound sense. A confession, a meeting after years, a church. The intensity of story is amplified by photography. Short, a film who has high potential to open wombs , to remind dark realities, to propose a terrible perspective about Romano- Catholic Church. And, sure, admirable acted.
