A priest stationed in rural Ireland hopes to be reassigned to Rome. To raise money for a new church, he decides to open a cinema in the culturally isolated small town of Tipperary. As he tries to share his love for film with the village, he is met with resistance by conservative politicians and parishioners.
Although Martin Sheen often goes full cherub in his depiction of the film's central Catholic priest, the pictue is also a frank assessment of a cleric's crisis of faith and the church's rather ruthless efforts to maintain medieval control in the face of modernization.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Relaxed performances and pillow-soft photography compensate somewhat for the story's narrow ambitions, but they're not enough to invigorate a movie that clearly would rather charm than challenge.
Sheen's throwback portrayal is appealing enough, but flat characters, dull revelations and uninvolving complications make this deliberately small film feel nearly microscopic.
