Featured review
Very Good and Honest film
This is a very honest film and as i was born in spain i can tell is a hard to watch film for any catholic, because it touches some issues about the hipocrasy involved in the church and some believers in a small town. Very good movie honest, direct and well directed. The Acting and pacing is awesome.
