 Sad, tragic, but well-done October 11, 2008
jobear (NCalifornia)
Aidan is incomparable in his role here; You will love him in this true story. The story is sad, tragic, horrifying. In addition to what was done to the children, it was especially shocking to find out in the end that these evil, abusive priests were not arrested, but were sent elsewhere in the world to possibly, or more likely, probably, do more damage to children. It is beyond me how that could happen. I hope that has all changed. Hopefully, this film has/will open people's eyes and keep them alert to abuses, and, hopefully, this exposure and others have and will continue to put an end to it. On the bright side, there are some wonderful interactions between Aidan's character and the boys that are a delight to watch. It's amazing how the human spirit can still shine when treated with kindness & love. The film is well-done and I recommend it for adults only, of course, though be prepared to be mortified. I am not Catholic, but I do know that this is a terrible, shameful thing done by some, while most true believers of the Church, have done and are doing wonderful things for the downtrodden, poor,& lost, and that they love and bring honor to God. This is an awful, unfortunately, true piece of history spotlighted in this film, but it is not the whole picture of the Church, of course. To balance this true story, watch another true story: Molokai,the story of Father Damien, who went to live amongst the lepers and gave his life for them.

remy_weszzenaar (sweden)
this movie is one of a kind, because it shows tha bad side of the catholic church.
boys has to be sex slaves from priests and keep their mouth shut.
this movie is to see and think about those we respect as god serves.
song for a raggy boy is the horror our kids has been going through
for century.
