Consensus: Deliver Us From Evil is a superb documentary and a searing look at an institution protecting its leaders at the expense of its followers. A profoundly disturbing chronicle of a wolf in sheep's clothing, the film builds a clear-eyed case against pedophile priest Oliver O'Grady, and the Catholic bureaucracy that protected him. The recollections of O’Grady's victims are nothing short of shocking and heartbreaking.

Reviews for Deliver Us From Evil
Top CriticThe film, which reduced a roomful of jaded film critics to tears, could literally make you sick.
10/27/06
A documentary with the power to affect even the most jaded of moviegoers.
11/10/06
Grander statements aren't needed when the specific indictments are so plentiful and so horrifying.
10/13/06
Top CriticIt's the proclamation for a crusade against anyone who protects those who prey not just upon the children, but spit all over the teachings that assured us the path to Heaven went right through the Church.
09/28/06
In the end, one can deduce from Berg's documentary that the Catholic Church is driven by money and power, those oft described roots of all evil and corruption.
10/14/06
Former CBS and CNN producer Amy Berg delves with piercing intelligence into one of most shocking scandals that has rocked the Catholic Church in recent years.
10/13/06
No report I have seen takes us so disturbingly inside the mind of the abuser as Amy Berg's Deliver Us From Evil.
11/09/06
Top CriticDevastating ... Heaven only knows why Deliver Us from Evil is only playing at a handful of theaters around the country. For one of the most important films of the year, it's shocking to discover that there's no room at the inn.
10/30/06
Deals with emotionally charged material, so it should surprise no one that it includes one of the most wrenching moments ever captured on film.
10/27/06
Top CriticOne of the most shocking and disturbing films this year, it's hard to rave about a movie that makes you so angry.
10/13/06
Although each story is compelling, among the most heart-wrenching may be that of the Japanese-Irish couple who welcomed the new parish priest, who often slept over at their house, and who now feel responsible for letting the wolf in their door.
03/09/07
The movie is a litany of victims and a chilling indictment.
10/27/06
The most infuriating revelation in Amy Berg's powerful documentary is the lengths to which current Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahoney and other church officials went to protect Father O'Grady and themselves.
10/13/06
O'Grady's ongoing inability to comprehend what he's done or even what happened to him underscores the film's most terrible truth: The cycle of abuse is ongoing.
11/09/06
Deliver Us From Evil shows us how the business of saving souls can rationalize the obscenity of selling them.
10/11/06
Top CriticThe Catholic hierarchy may be able to look away, but anyone seeing this film will not be able to follow its lead.
10/13/06
Whatever name you want to call O'Grady, he is fascinating and frightening.
11/09/06
A stunning indictment of institutional betrayal. It plays like a Catholic Watergate, going right to the top with hard evidence that stuns, dismays and sickens.
10/27/06
Top CriticIt is a powerful indictment of any organization that chooses to turn a blind eye to an extremely serious problem.
