Consensus: Deliver Us From Evil is a superb documentary and a searing look at an institution protecting its leaders at the expense of its followers. A profoundly disturbing chronicle of a wolf in sheep's clothing, the film builds a clear-eyed case against pedophile priest Oliver O'Grady, and the Catholic bureaucracy that protected him. The recollections of O’Grady's victims are nothing short of shocking and heartbreaking.

Top CriticAlthough each story is compelling, among the most heart-wrenching may be that of the Japanese-Irish couple who welcomed the new parish priest, who often slept over at their house, and who now feel responsible for letting the wolf in their door.

A riveting, emotionally charged and startling big-screen experience. But it does more than just deliver to filmgoers. It may find a Holy Grail of real societal change for a larger constituency.

Berg's portrait of a sociopath is as chilling as any in recent memory.

Top CriticDeliver Us Evil is more terrifying than any horror movie, because it's about something that really happened.
12/15/06
Some films make you think, some make you cry, and others make you cringe. "Deliver Us From Evil," which catalogs the destruction caused by a child-molesting Catholic priest, inspires all three reactions.

[Amy] Berg has crafted a disturbing and well-made documentary that sheds additional light on this continuously unfolding scandal.

Berg makes a compelling case that this is THE scandal of an American generation.
11/15/06
Watching Amy Berg's powerful documentary Deliver Us from Evil is a wrenching experience; her subjects reveal to the camera almost unbearable levels of anguish, and its audience walks away feeling both numbness and rage.
11/10/06
A compelling piece of journalism arguing O'Grady is one of hundreds of 'sexualized' priests shielded by an absolute bureaucracy that's been corrupted absolutely.
11/10/06
Devastating.
11/10/06
A documentary with the power to affect even the most jaded of moviegoers.
