Bless Me Father

I've heard a lot of opinions about this film, most of them are good, but I wanted to see what's good for myself. So i checked it out and I would agree. I strongly reccomened this movie to indie film lovers who want to see an Italian Mob Movie done the right way. It's raw, gritty and authentic. Usually when films are two raw or gritty they take away from the film, but with Bless me Father it added a level of intensity and realness. My favorite scene is in the basement of the strip club with Trulove. I felt like I was there in the room with everyone. So authentic and real! Really loved what they pulled off.

This movie is really intense and you almost have to be kind of smart to actually understand its beauty. The essence of the film is electrifying. The fact you're in a confession booth the whole movie is really cool. Wait until you see the end. The writing of the story had been guessing which way the title was going to go, it was refreshing. Usually you can guess what's going to happen next in a movie and you figure it out yourself, but this one will have you guess. You have to be paying attention when you watch this movie. Not everything is spelled out loud for you. You have to let you imagination kick in, which to me is the true measure of great art!

Great film, definitely worth a watch. The cast of this film are such an interesting bunch of characters, after some research it becomes apparent that nearly the whole cast are actually non-actors and this is there first work. Well when you take that into consideration is just so hard to believe as this really is an incredible piece of work with the acting be such top quality. Apart from the acting this film holds up next to the greats it is thrilling full of life and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I am sure I will be seeing more work like this from these creators soon or big things either way I'm sure this talent won't go undiscovered.

This flick won't disappoint if you are thinking about it definitely hit buy. It's a film full of passion full of emotion I really loved it and it got to be very emotional at different points in the film. I would like to see more women next time and not just more women half naked but more of the women who are closest to the protagonist Vinny's life. For example, his girlfriend Tina, it would have been great to have seen more of her at the beginning of the piece she was a great character and I think it would have added a lot to the plot to have seen more of her. Great role which I think the actress smashed completely. That said great performances all round.

Bless Me Father is a great movie. It really blows my mind that this film was made with all non actors and it was the filmmakers debut feature film. I am giving them this rating because for limited resources they had and the extremely small budget this was made on it's almost impossible what they did. Usually I don't like when I hear someone wrote, directed, acted, edited, and even did the sound design, but McLaughlin pulled it off. I would say for him next time to delegate some of the responsibilities to other people and the movies will be that much better, it's still really impressive. You can tell the guy put his soul into it. Ive seen the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo work. This movie is no where near that level of greatness, but I would say the guys out there doing his thing.
