RAVE - Calvary

Now, you might think that seeing as our wives are off swanning around in England and Spain, Amo and I mistook the title of this film, thinking we were going to see a western about The Cavalry. But no, we knew this was a movie about an Irish Catholic who, since his wife had died made his vocation the Priesthood.

Brendan Gleeson and an array of odd-ball mostly Irish villagers play out the story of a Priest who is told during confession by one of his parishioners that he was going to kill him - because he'd been a good Priest. He's given one week to get his affairs in order, before they are to meet on the windswept local beach for the final - potentially murderous - scene.

This was a Philomena-esque film, with the pace and excellence of Nebraska. It was a brilliant script, choc-full of witticisms, sound logic and weird characters.

Our evening was rounded off with dinner at Dosa, and being chatted up by two tipsy. middle-aged women at the bar. 

Hope the wives are jealous when they hear this!
