Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Although each story is compelling, among the most heart-wrenching may be that of the Japanese-Irish couple who welcomed the new parish priest, who often slept over at their house, and who now feel responsible for letting the wolf in their door.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
A stunning indictment of institutional betrayal. It plays like a Catholic Watergate, going right to the top with hard evidence that stuns, dismays and sickens.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
The film is painful viewing, in large part because director Amy Berg relates the facts and depicts the victims and the culprits with detached gravity.

A sobering look at paedophilia in the Catholic Church, Amy Berg's gripping documentary reveals disturbing facts, but even more disturbingly, about its cover up.

Rating: 4/5 --
Berg's intuitively right ratio of personal and analytical material, her implied belief in transcendence of horrific demoralization, shows a truly progressive vision.

The polemical is never as powerful as the personal and O'Grady's part of the story illuminates the whole with nauseating clarity.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Director Amy Berg helms this shocking documentary, which looks at the activities of a priest named Oliver O'Grady. O'Grady had been identified by the Catholic church as a pedophile, but they allowed him to continue to work and molest children throughout the 1970s. Berg draws on interview footage of O'Grady and his victims to tell the unsettling tale. DELIVER US FROM EVIL was nominated for an Academy Award in 2007.
