A man of the cloth facing a crisis of faith, particularly one provoked by an attractive woman, covers some well-trod dramatic territory and the director doesn't do much to update this borderline biblical scenario. Feb 28, 2017 | Full Review…

A young Catholic priest questions his vocation in Paul Shoulberg's earnest but overly schematic and ultimately ineffectual comedy-drama [that] never really rings true. Sep 12, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review…
