It's a movie you will watch because Robert Redford and Jane Fonda star. And then it is so obvious, so "deja vu". I know movies are business but aren't they tired of portraing the same over and over again? Nothing is dirty, nobody knows where they get the money, they have losts of clothes, their houses are perfect (except his door); do people live that way?, do people suffer "loneliness" in that comfortable way? Is everybody so indiferent to religion?

This is a deeply religious film. It conveys anguish and despair. It may seem depressing but you find hope. It is a great movie made with a very slow rhythm that fits perfectly with the life and the thoughts of the priest. Each scene fades to black slowly into the next and leaves you waiting with that sense of "nothing" that tortures the priest. It is intense in the dialogs, although you may have to see it several times before you can really "catch" them. The struggle to believe, to persevere, to find, to know is common to all the characters in different ways. "Before me, a black wall" says th priest; I think, we all had similar thoughts, at least once in our lives.
