This movie fucking rocks. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it was filmed in Toronto and seeing landscape shots of Toronto, a shitty looking city, bummed me out. Or maybe that was perfectly dystopian. Anyway, nepo baby son with a grand slam of a movie.
Russell Crowe gives a once in a life performance as Father Gabriel Amorth (pronounced "Ah-mort").
I haven't read the books ("The books are good."), but if Catholicism was really only about travelling the world on a Vespa exorcizing demons, I'd convert instantly.
I seriously cannot tell if this movie is meant to have a pro-Catholic message outside of being loosely adapted from the real life Gabriel Amorth's novels. However, it puts forward the claim that the Spanish Inquisition's barbarism lies…
Excellent production and some good time spent with the aliens. I didn't really care about the main character's story and the end felt stretched out. I liked that the aliens were kind of idiots.
