Calvary - 2014 ****


A deeply shocking film that will haunt you for quite a time afterwards. Gleeson is a priest, trying to do good in the world and sort out a tricky relationship with his daughter. One day a man comes into the confessional and very calmly tells him that he has one week to live; because he will be murdering him the following Sunday. The reason for this is simple - because he has done nothing wrong. He is not a bad person, is an upstanding member of ythe community and has no inner demons (or so the mysterious man thinks) and this makes him a perfect target for someone who appears to have nothing to lose. 
It's a very tense movie, and I was surprised by the ending. You must watch it. What a clever story.
