I enjoyed it pretty much. I read a review on some conservative Catholic website that said is was soooo boring, and so I wanted to see if it were true, and I don't think it was boring at all. I thought the 3 priests each had very good character development and there was a lot of love and truth in their thoughts on God.

I looked it up on wiki, and it looks like it never got general distribution. I wonder how the director got such 2 great actors, especially Danny Glover. I read the guy that played the young priest, Zachary Spicer was also a producer on the film.

I wasn't crazy about the woman character. She was beautiful, but she was so sarcastic, it was off putting for me. She was a cool singer, but I wonder if such a heartfelt singer could be so negative and sarcastic the rest of the time.
