The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build gradually, drawing you into the journalist's investigation. Performances are generally solid, with an underlying intensity that reflects the characters' internal conflicts. It’s distinctive for its unflinching look at celibacy vows and the ramifications of breaking them.
