Well done and moving

jasobe - 3/5/2009

I did not feel any part of this production was over the top or over emphasized. This story was no different than many other productions on the subject before and since. Some of the acting was poor but not enough to reduce the impact of this film. The daring attempt to bring such dreadful events occurring in the churches involving our youth is much needed and sorely underplayed.
Yes, parts of this film are difficult to watch but no less necessary progression of the story. Not for the light hearted, hard core religious or anyone believing priests do no wrong, for though this is fictional, it depicts an age old truth about the clergy and our children.
A must for your collection

A Little Over The Top

flinty - 12/25/2008

I also enjoyed this film which was originally produced for Canadian television. While the movie is based on true events, it is a little heavy handed in its portrayal of Catholic priests in the orphanage. The huge cross the priests carry in their waste belts, looks like some kind of a weapon they wield to impose their will upon others, something I have never seen in any of the orders of priests I know. Still, their has been a lot of abusae by priest, not only in Canada, but also in Scotland, Ireland , America, Austrailia, and, yes, even India, not to mention Mexico, Central and South America, Spain, Italy, and France. Sexual frustration and lack of fulfillment does lead to aggression. Apparently, sexual child abuse of young boys is more common place than ever before imagined. In Russia, sexual abuse of minors runs rampant today due to the increased number of orphans since the collapse of the USSR, nor is the present government doing much to help the orphans, most of whom live on the streets, surviving as best they can. It is sad to see a city morgue in Saint Petersburg filled with the bodies of children who overdose on drugs, especially from glue sniffing, as reported by Russian television. Matters are no better in places like San Paulo, Brazil, where the police shoot street kids for stealing, with little or no impunity. Personally, I think this all makes for a bad mix for future generations to come,,,,,

EDITOR'S NOTE: Comparing Boys of St. Vincent to what you described is "a little over the top". But we support free speech, so you're entitled to have that opinion here.

the boys of St. Vincent

A twisted look at life in a catholic orphanage. A very realistic depiction of abuse by the hands of a priest. Johnny Morina's best film, if you are a fan check out Kids of the Round Table or Salt Water Moose.
