For the uninitiated, Calvary ✝ is a week long chronicle of anger, bitterness, hopelessness, despair, disillusionment, and resignation - but also of hope, reconciliation courage and integrity. It addresses almost every base and negative aspect of the human experience: anger, lust, perversion, car accidents, betrayal, gossip, cheating, loneliness, greed, vengeance and - murder.

But don't let this stopping you from watching it. There are some hilarious, also sad, moving but insightful moments. The good priest Father James is wonderfully played by Brandon Gleeson who is told, by one of his parishioners that "He, the good priest will have to pay the price" for the crimes, and humiliation done by the other, dirty priest. He was given one week to prepare, to set his 'house in order.'

In the mean time, the good priest have the spiteful community, disillusioned daughter to deal with.
