Calvary is a darkly comic thriller from writer/director John Michael McDonagh.
After being told he will be murdered in one week’s time, Father James Lavelle has seven days to determine his would-be killer. Prevented from going to the police by the “seal of confessional”, Father Lavelle opts to engage with his morally scurrilous parishioners, with the hope of dissuading the one amongst them who is intent on his death.
The film is currently 89% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an average critics rating of 7.9/10 and is rated 7.8/10 on IMDb, with a Metascore of 91/100.
It starts screening tonight at the Cornerhouse.
