[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 407432, member: 8"] Which I have watched just now, and it was just as good as I remembered. The two stories of secrets and guilt and forgiveness come together beautifully in the emotional finale but at the same time it adds a bit of a potboiler-y tone to the story. The dialogue about celibacy and homosexuality in the church is there, but I felt it could have gone a little deeper. No decision is being made about the future of Father Greg's sex life, is he going to have his cake and eat it or not, and what does that mean in the grand scheme of things? Nevertheless, the film is very entertaining on all levels, the drama: the romance, the friendship, the humour and the Bishop's shocking bitchiness. There are some nice surprises from the supporting cast, like the wild guy on the beach who literally drops in the middle of a conversation, tries to steal their coffee and then starts chasing the seagulls. Linus Roache plays Father Greg with convincing anguish, resulting in some uncomfortable but very interesting scenes. [/QUOTE]
