Everyone else will be entertained. See more Emilliano Jr S @emill_santos Apr 26, 2024 Even my Catholic faith fell asleep into this boring, lame thriller. See more Shaun E @RT79608371 Mar 24, 2023 Ok, let's start with a curiosity. The US name of this film is just odd, given the whole plot is about the sin eater. Nevermind. This film struggles to get going and it takes a while for its plot to start to make sense. The story does not play out in any traditional sense, and I suspect that is the reason that it has been so panned. The film also suffers from 'character explains plot to save time and complication' - one of film-making's weakest plot devices. There are some (aka plenty) of things that are just plain weird, such as the wannabe pope, without giving any plot spoilers, and the (I still have no idea why they were in the story) demonic children. Now, behind the story that is playing out on screen lies a whole philosophical undertow. Would you sacrifice yourself for someone you loved? Would you be willing to pay the price of immortality? What would you do if given god-like power? I enjoyed this film because I did find it thought provoking. Yes, it is plain weird in places, but any film invoking the supernatural does. This one perhaps struggles to make reality and the supernatural good visual bedfellows. See more steve d @RT35616104 Feb 2, 2023 Some good ideas but it never quite comes together. See more justin t @RT08580778 Feb 15, 2022 I really liked the style. It looked really dark and yet really pretty. The only thing that I didn't like was the over-use of cross dissolves and pictures put on top of each other. The lighting looked fantastic. Really good sound nicely balanced. It feels so dark and moody and I loved it! The religious angle was interesting. I thought it worked really well and kept my attention. I didn't like Heath Ledger in the main role; I found him unconvincing which is a shame. Oozing with moody style and gothic noir. I loved it! See more Read all reviews
