Aime et fais ce que tu veux

To say the least. The movie will not leave you completely after watching it. Whatever reaction it does create, it will stay with you. It's not an easy or light theme it takes on. Therefor it had to be careful. But it is not too careful. You have scenes that are explicit in its sexual nature (even if not completely graphic).

But it is the overall feeling this movie might leave you with and the moral choices the characters are taking. It is not easy to watch at all and you might understand the characters or you might start to hate some of them too. But I can't imagine anyone watching this, feeling nothing (even if its just disgust). The acting is really good and you get the feeling as if this is really happening (some might argue that it is close to some truth, which wouldn't be wrong I reckon). Tough but maybe still rewarding watch

Andrej Chyra (Father Adam), Mateusz Koskiukiewicz (the tongue-tied Lukasz) and Tomas Schuchard (the streetwise Blondie)are superb. But this is writer/director Malgorzata Szumowski's film and it is original, fresh. It proves once again the power of art to make sympathetic a character you wouldn't have believed was worthy of consideration based on the facts alone. I mean the conscience-tormented Father Adam who is enveloped in a haze of homoeroticism generated by the late-teenage youths at a Polish reformatory camp. Given the emotional and affectional undernourishment among both the adults and the youths it is unsurprising that desire emerges here and there. But Father Adam is no predator pedophile exploiting altar boys. He is a sincere man devoted to the well-being of his wards and his temptations come in the form of youths past the age of consent played by actors well-past that age.

Great acting The scenes are done nicely Camera is just above average Sounds are nicely done The story is well told, like the script above average quality Clearly see the conflict between someone that is raised in the big city and going to a more outskirt place.

A movie about community, getting respect and ranks Importance of the community what is being valued and therefore feared and will listen As he forfill a duty with the community and hold his norms and value all the time, especially in public.

Still, he is a human and need to know how to fit in the community and interact with them to keep his position and respect.

He got tested so many times and almost all the time it is hard to keep it straight and having the right answer for it. Everybody is looking at him as a release, escape and know it all, but he is none to release his. Makes it unbearable Especially the new guy challenge him, the difficulty is that the new guy got good integrated.

When looking for help he notices he was always for the people he needed to be but when he needed help from those, he should be able to rely on he did not get anything.

Very well done on meeting the higher supervisor, as it feels like how the church is running a company and do not want to lose someone over a small incident that could help them to make much.

The end is just a closure, where the one ends and the other begins.

Would like to have more clarity and more action, so it is more pleasant to watch even if it is not really bored, but it is just relaxing.

it can be beautiful, strange or ambiguous. courageous or to close by blasphemy. in fact, it is only impressive. cold and bitter, gray and strange, it is not exactly a love story but image of a self definition fight. the theme makes difference not for the story itself but for the status of ingredient in a Polish movie. and the most important virtue , in this case, is the performance who sustain not only the story but the intentions of director. it is not easy to say if it is a good or bad film. because, after its end, important remains only the feeling. a kind of emotion who makes the film to be part of your memories. and image of an isle in which nothing can be clear, nothing has solution or roots. a film about solitude of choices. and that is all.

The film is a bit slow, with less action and even less dialogue ... However, it is a great film because it manages to evoke the maximum frustration that a Catholic priest has to face, leaving aside the work he does, unfolds is also a MAN and that every man needs to love and feel loved, to hug and be hugged in turn, to communicate about his joys, needs, feelings and pains ... From what I understand, life is a nightmare for these Catholic priests, because they are forbidden to lead a normal life.
