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 CriticManages to find a chilling new angle to the subject of sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church.

If Berg's movie were a newspaper story, it would win the Pulitzer Prize for public service.
10/26/06
Top CriticWhat 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
You come out of the film shaking your head in disbelief at Father Oliver O'Grady, but fully enraged at Cardinal Rogery Mahony.
10/25/06
In 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
It cries from and for the hearts of victims and leaves its viewers moved, shattered, outraged. And impotent in the face of the ugliness visited on the souls of good and innocent people.
10/19/06
Top CriticOne of the best and most important documentaries you’ll ever see.
10/17/06
Top CriticIn 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
One of the scarier movies of the year.
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
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
A literally stunning documentary.
10/13/06
Top CriticThe 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
The Catholic hierarchy may be able to look away, but anyone seeing this film will not be able to follow its lead.
10/13/06
This superb documentary about the Catholic Church's worst pedophile scandal is in many ways far scarier than any fiction.
10/13/06
Top CriticO'Grady appears in the film, his face showing no sign of shame even as he acknowledges and describes the awful things he did.
10/13/06
Top CriticGrander statements aren't needed when the specific indictments are so plentiful and so horrifying.
10/13/06
Deliver Us From Evil is an explosive documentary about a depravity so gross, it leaves you appalled and infuriated that the men who enabled it have never been called to account.
10/13/06
Neither sensationalistic nor sentimental, Ms. Berg's film is clear-sighted, tough-minded and devastating, a portrait of individual criminality and institutional indifference, a study in the betrayal of trust and the irresponsibility of authority.
