...a somewhat ambiguous message about the ability of pedophiles to be reformed, especially given the lack of assistance once they leave the prison system.
Quite simply put, they can't be reformed. The assistance they do receive is a farce. I highly recommend the article "Sex Predators Can't Be Saved" by Andrew Vacchs.
Robert DeNiro’s Father Carrillo is immensely likable ... not sure why the film didn’t receive more accolades.
I think that statement explains itself. From what I've seen of modern Hollywood, anything depicting a priest in a positive light is not going to receive accolades.
