I wasn’t as thrilled with Stanley Tucci or John Lithgow’s performance probably because I grew up catholic and was an altar boy, lector, etc and just wasn’t convinced they were priests. Ralph Fiennes and the rest of the cast (Isabella Rossellini triggered a few memories of my old nun teachers) I thought were great. The visuals and especially the musical score added greatly to the suspense.

To touch on ShazzieB and your other comments, this review in the Catholic magazine Angelus jumped on the anti-catholic position and skewers the movie to a point of being a laughable hit piece. I mean it wasn’t THAT bad. I’m also guessing there was concerted effort to discredit the movie based on the large number of single star reviews and my long ago memory of some announcements made during masses.
