Some films make you think, some make you cry, and others make you cringe. "Deliver Us From Evil," which catalogs the destruction caused by a child-molesting Catholic priest, inspires all three reactions.

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
Deliver Us Evil is more terrifying than any horror movie, because it's about something that really happened.
12/15/06
Top CriticIn a major coup, director Amy Berg convinced O'Grady to appear in [Deliver Us From Evil], and his testimony reveals a man who's chillingly divorced from the full weight of his actions.
10/20/06
Grander statements aren't needed when the specific indictments are so plentiful and so horrifying.

Devastating ... 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.

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.

Devastating.

Deliver Us From Evil has a few things wrong with it, including an egregious musical score, but without resorting to sucker punches, it takes your breath away while making your skin crawl.
11/02/06
Top CriticMost powerfully, [Berg] also films a number of O'Grady's victims as they recount their trauma and, in some cases, loss of faith.
10/12/06
Um relato avassalador sobre a demagogia dos altos escalões da Igreja Católica, que prefere proteger seus interesses corporativos a impedir abusos contra crianças.
05/15/07
The great tragedy underlying the story of Father O'Grady is how many children might not have been victims, had Cardinal Roger Mahoney ... been more interested in protecting the children residing in his diocese rather than furthering his own ascendancy wit
09/23/06
One 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
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
What makes this film so worthy is the understanding it gives us both of the wolf in sheep's clothing and of the betrayal of trust.
10/26/06
A documentary with the power to affect even the most jaded of moviegoers.
11/10/06
Deals with emotionally charged material, so it should surprise no one that it includes one of the most wrenching moments ever captured on film.

Even people who reject the idea of inherent evil may be shaken by Berg's scrupulous yet passionate recounting of the story of Oliver O'Grady.

Top CriticWhat truly sets Deliver Us from Evil apart from other documentaries is interviews with the monster himself.
