The best movie ever produced. Thrilling and inspiring. Just utterly sublime in every aspect.

I lasted a little over halfway through before figuring that it wasn't going to get any better...

This film was pretty much a complete and utter disappointment to me. Having read the novel, which being about the life and rise of a Catholic priest through the early 20th century, is not only fascinating but very well written, I came away just flattened by the very poor adaptation for the film. The film is wholly episodic with narrative points that seemingly arise out of nowhere, disappear and then get resolved as quickly as they appear and disappear. There also seems to be an Americanization to the narrative, as if the filmmakers thought that if they didn't do this the film would fare poorly. The casting of Tryon was rather flat and what the hell happened to John Huston? A major character in the novel, he disappears after the first hour of the film. Totally disappointed with this film. Completely.

I loved this film. I think you'd have to be very cynical to dislike it, or maybe have a deep-seated dislike of Catholics. I grant that there is an earnestness in the acting which is perhaps dated, but which really fades out once the great John Huston comes on scene. He has a wonderful gravitas, and it's worth watching just for him. The sister and her plight is entirely believable as is the priest's struggle with his calling. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it was a Catholic nostalgia film at first, but this melts to reveal an appropriately reflective tale of conscience and calling. Nor will I criticize the film for it's pace for I think it suits the atmosphere of the piece, but I would recommend watching it in a pensive mood.

The brief account for a priest's life is somehow clichéd and you just don't get into the superficial narrative.
