## Description

Stars Gael Garcia (Amores Perros) as the title character. He's a newly ordained priest sent to workin a small church community in Mexico by the Bishop. He arrives wide eyed and full of optimism hoping to serve God and his parish, however, he quickly butts heads with the elder priest in charge, Father Benito. Benito is known to accept drug money from the local drug lord in order to subsidise the construction of a new hospital and in addition is carrying on an affair with a local woman. To complicate matters, father Amaro soon finds himself in a love affair with the young Sunday school teacher. After a newspaper report, linking the drug lords with the Church, is published, Father Amaro is then trying to cover up and mend the public relations fiasco. Amaro has also been asked by the Bishop to reign in the renegade priest who has affiliations with guerrilla soldiers. Needless to say, moraldilemmas abound and Father Amaro's idealism is put to the test by personal, political and church press

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    excellent direction of a superb script
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2022*

This film has many of the qualities of a well written play or novel.  It explores a number of moral dilemmas that humans face.  In this case it involves a kind-hearted and selfless priest.  At least that is how he starts out.  But then he is confronted with a number of temptations: power, ambition, lust, friendship, temptations which he cannot resist. The story is all about how he deals with each, and makes us wonder just each of us would fare under parallel circumstances.  Beautifully directed, really brings out the underlying issues, and very nicely acted by all involved.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    True to life, yet contrived.
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2022*

Beautifully shot, directed, acted.Having been around many clergy for many years, I can attest that this overall character trait of cruel, selfish hypocrisy is the rule, not the exception, in their overall behavior. Those who think that this film is unfair to clergy should be aware of a nationwide support group, with chapters in many cities, for jilted women who have entered into romances with priests who've promised to leave the church and get married, only to back out.In this film, however, it's difficult to believe that this young man, who seems to be ardently sincere, can slowly turn into a spineless, selfish hypocrite. This felt contrived, and prevented this from being a really great film, as it could have been.  The script is the one weak link of this film.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great film, it had everything in it
  

*by N***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2022*

Love, deception, greed, lust, corruption, this film has everything. Is Padre Amaro really a good man, or deep down a selfish charismatic manipulator? Was he really in love? He's such an incredible actor, and I remember his incredible performance in Amores Perros. This was a wonderful film and shows that the church is basically a reflection of society with human beings confronted daily with the same realities that people in the outside world are faced with. Only difference that they are covered up a bit more.
