Movie Reviews of The Crime of Padre Amaro
Movie Review: Beautiful, Troubling Film
Summary: 4 Stars
After seeing this film, I wasn't surprised to find out that representatives of the Roman Catholic Church had decried it. That predictable response to any form of social criticism against the social institution of the church is a little tired. As far as the movie goes, I found it to be an interesting story on how sin can turn us around. Virtually every character in this film (yes, even priests!) is in some way compromised by sin in their life, skewing the productivity of their intentions. In terms of my personal compromise, I thoroughly enjoyed the acting of Ana Claudia Talancón! If you're in the mood for a film that displays issues of corruption, health, and faith...and then refuses to `tidy' them up in the end, preferring a conclusion of tension, then this film is for you!Movie Review: A Price Too High To Pay...
Summary: 4 Stars
Father Amaro (Gael García Bernal) has recently been ordained as a priest for the Catholic Church in Mexico and he has been sent to a small Mexican village where he is suppose to help Father Benito (Sancho Gracia). In between the daily responsibilities Father Amaro meets with other priests and the people of the village. One of the girls of the village, Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancón), seeks Father Amaro's attention as she falls in love with him. These are feelings that Father Amaro desires, but they come with a price that he does not want to pay. Crime of Father Amaro is a strong film that displays some of the many opinions and notions that rest within the Catholic Church. In the end, the audience is to experience a good cinematic event as the story unfolds.Movie Review: Predecible, pero Poderosa
Summary: 4 Stars
Si me gusto, sin embargo, no era tan buena como todos me decian. Reconozco que es una pelicula que tenian que hacer, para animar a los Mexicanos a pensar e investigar mas acerca de los curas corruptos y la posicion de la iglesia en su pais.Gael Garcia Bernal es un muy buen actor, y la pelicula fue bien escrita, pero la drama me parecia aveces como una novela, en vez de una profunda investigacion del corazon del hombre. El final era muy predecible para mi, pero si esta fuerte de todas maneras. Recomiendo que vean esta pelicula, pero no deben de esperar una grandeza, mas bien una pelicula solida que al fin nos da algo para pensar.
Movie Review: Best movie I have seen so far
Summary: 4 Stars
The Crime of Father Amaro has to be the best film I have seen so far this year . The story line is very good also the acting is great. Again Gael Garcia has proven what a great actor he is. The movie roles he has done have been great . The movie has scenes that can make you giggle and some that want to make you cry .Movie Review: temptation
Summary: 4 Stars
this is an important movie about the nature of temptation and the complications of living a double life.. It is also an interesting look into hypocracy.. All of the characters are involved in some dirty business.. and this leads to a tragic outcome that will leave us lost in thought at the end.. Very captivating..
