Father Stu
61Watch it awake.
A late, loud conversion. Adult, and the vulgarity is the before, not the joke.
Pass it on
The review
The first hour is a man you would not leave with a child, and the film wants you to know that so the second hour can count. He falls in love, he falls into the Church, and then the disease makes the bravado useless. That sequence is the argument: a conversion that does not touch the body and the calendar is still a performance. The mouth is foul.
Adults. Watch it for the part where charm runs out. The charge is to stop treating conversion as a brighter personality. It is a death, sometimes a physical one, and then a job.

Live Historic number 61. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Temperance are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Sight
73 instead of 61
Sight is still a drama film, and it scores 73 instead of 61. What you gain is temperance: Little appetite.
The eight
- 6Industry
Boxing, then the slow work of study. He is not naturally fit for the second.
- 4Household
A father wound under the whole life. The new household is the church he is trying to join.
- 8Piety
The conversion is specific and Catholic. He wants the priesthood, not a mood.
- 8Courage
He keeps going after the body starts to fail, which is the real courage.
- 5Republic
A parish that has to decide if a man like this can be trusted with people.
- 4Temperance
The early reels enjoy the mouth and the mess. They are honest and they are too long.
- 7Truth
He cannot charm his way past the formation. The film lets the church say no for a while.
- 7Stewardship
What he hands a parish is a priest who knows the pit. The disease is the offering.
