I was thinking 4 stars at the time but now I have to admit I am thinking 3.5 in retrospect. It just didn't make me feel a whole lot. This off the back of <em>Frost/Nixon</em> which, whilst and entierly different film, made me feel and react the way a great film should. Puts is all into perspective really.

But it really has been poorly adapted and it is poorly directed. A bad sign for me was the fact that I stopped caring about whether Father Flynn was guilty or not.

I saw it with about 8 other people who were all raving about it, and heard similar things from other friends. I'm afraid something about it just didn't pack a punch the way I would have expected a film with such subject matter to.
