Remigio3October 24, 2024It’s impressive how, more than 20 years ago, this film tackled LGBTQ themes with such depth. The final scene, where the girl turns to the outcast priest, is so emotional. Changing status quo needs those who dare to challenge it.

toKoralíOctober 24, 2024This film's brilliance lies in its ability to provoke deep reflection. What is the essence of Christianity—rigid adherence to doctrine or love and acceptance? In today's context, I don’t see this as a tragedy; the priest may have lost superficial respect, but he found personal redemption.

YesYeahSíJanuary 4, 2023It's controversial, but it's great
Consciousness and belief are the result of brainwashing, constantly repressing their own nature, in order to meet the belief, with moral constraints on their behavior, tell themselves what is right and wrong, even if everything is not what they want. The contrast between the two identities of gay priests is indeed huge. The movie gives a rather human result, but it is still a tragedy. People always feel that people should follow their hearts and aspirations, rather than be oppressed by social ideology.

TrufóOctober 31, 2024É impressionante como, há mais de 20 anos, esse filme abordou temas LGBTQ com tanta profundidade. A cena final, em que a garota se volta para o padre marginalizado, é muito emotiva. A mudança do status quo precisa daqueles que se atrevem a desafiá-lo.

vlinns3October 31, 2024O brilhantismo desse filme está em sua capacidade de provocar uma reflexão profunda. Qual é a essência do cristianismo, a adesão rígida à doutrina ou amor e aceitação? No contexto atual, não vejo isso como uma tragédia; o padre pode ter perdido o respeito superficial, mas encontrou a redenção pessoal.

Syndfg324October 31, 2024La brillantez de esta película se encuentra en su habilidad para provocar una gran reflexión. ¿Cuál es la esencia del cristianismo, una adhesión rígida a la doctrina o el amor y la aceptación? En el contexto actual, no veo esto como una tragedia; el sacerdote puede haber perdido respeto superficial, pero encontró su redención personal.
