Movie Review: Calvary (2014)

I find it funny, the first time I heard of this movie was a couple of months back from my mother. It is rare that she hears about a film before me, but she did. It was being reviewed on the news and she told me it was very well reviewed. Now some time has passed and the small, traveling release has made its way to my neck of the woods and I decided to give it a go. Pretty much all I knew going in was that it was well reviewed, it featured a strong performance from Brendan Gleeson, and was about a priest. I am rather glad I only knew that, the movie reveals itself to be rather engrossing, and not more than a little depressing.
