The new film by John Michael McDonagh, the brutally funny filmmaker behind 2011's The Guard. Calvary follows a priest who is told he will be murdered in a week by an anonymous parishioner and his attempts to find the man who would kill him. It is a rare film more interested in the character deconstruction of a good priest than a deconstruction of a bad (touchy) one. If this film is half as good as The Guard, it will be twice as good as most films coming out in the next few weeks.
