Rating: 2/4 -- This Polish "gay priest tempted" drama is almost as confused about the moral quandaries of its characters as they are. Full Review

While the topic is dark and heavy, it's hard not to get caught up in the beauty of Michal Englert's sun-drenched cinematography coupled with moving music by Pawel Mykietyn and Adam Walicki Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- A thoughtful perspective on attitudes to homosexuality in the church and Polish society and Chyra's strong performance make this a poignant drama. Full Review

Szumowska, who co-wrote the script with the film's first-rate cinematographer Michal Englert, effectively imbues this haunting, deeply reflective tale with equal parts tension, dread, desire and inevitability. Full Review

The exogenous factors contributing to his turmoil are the ones in which he's most indoctrinated, and by humanizing this broader struggle, Szumowska's institutional denouncements are even more heartbreaking and scathing. Full Review

Product Description:

A Catholic priest who has fought to suppress his homosexual impulses falls under the spell of a troubled teen in this sensitive drama from director Malgorzata Szumowska. Adam (Andrzej Chyra) entered the priesthood at 21. He's dedicated his life to helping teens with behavioral problems, and has embraced a life of celibacy in an effort to combat his feelings for the same sex. Adam's closely guarded secret threatens to become public knowledge, however, when he befriends a misfit adolescent named Lukasz (Mateusz Kosciukiewicz), who stirs feelings deep within Adam that are far too powerful to deny.
