I must say this movie was disturbing, real, powerful, moving and brilliant. Although it was somewhat slow and repetitive it was still unbelievable to get a real life look at the ignored crime of Catholic Clergy Sexual abuse and child molestation. The most powerful story is that of two parents among other adults in the film, whose daughter was sexually abused by a varied victim madman. The story of there horror and the pain that they struggle with is so indescribably moving and superb. The effects that the news had on them of there daughter being abused is stunning. This movie is truly brilliant Grade A for a documentary. The man behind the crime should be jailed for life to bring true justice to the many female and male victims and the crime should be acknowledged by the Catholic Church and worldwide. This is a big step in decreasing the amount of sexual abuse in church related manner.… Expand

Thank God. This movie will reach believers to hopefully cry for their church to be better, hold itself to higher standards and serve the people -- not its own interests. I'm so thankful to those with the courage to speak up. Their victimization by those perpetuating this evil (within the church) needs to be stopped. It starts by talking about it and the priests and church to be accountable to those they took an oath to God to serve.… Expand

For the most part, "Deliver Us from Evil" is an exemplary documentary about the abuses of the Catholic church. Late in the film, however, the filmmaker and Thomas Doyle resort to Michael Moore-tactics when they send two of Father O'Grady's abuse victims to the Vatican for an apology. They must've known it was a certain inevitability that the two women would be sent away catharsis-free, and would now be saddled with a new psychical wound in need of healing. Doyle and the filmmaker probably didn't prepare the women for the possibility of rejection because they wanted to capture real tears on film. This is disappointing. When Doyle is calming the two women down inside a cafe, he looks like an actor. Other than this egregious violation of trust between documentary filmmaker and subject, "Deliver Us from Evil" is essential viewing for all. Father Oliver O'Grady, quite clearly, doesn't look at all repentant. He's like the criminal who gets away with the perfect crime and wants to share his story with an audience. He's on an ego-trip.… Expand

Skipped it to the end. Film about child abuse in catholic church.

This movie may bee too long and may have some unpowerful content amount its brilliant script, profound characters, and heart throbbing moments. But its brilliant and messy powerful pizzazz makes it a documentary classic. It is both stunning and powerful. It takes you into the mind of a confessing madman and gives you a in-depth look at the life that his once young victims now live.
