About This Movie
Taking a Chance on God is a fascinating documentary that dives deep into John McNeill's life, an 85-year-old gay Catholic priest who really shook things up within the church. It’s not just his personal story; it’s a broader look at the LGBT spiritual movement he helped found. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of McNeill's journey and the struggles he faced, particularly with figures like Pope Benedict XVI. The raw honesty in his performance, alongside the heartfelt interviews, brings a warmth that contrasts sharply with the often rigid backdrop of the church. It’s distinctive in how it blends personal narrative with a critique of institutional norms, making it not just a biography but a call for understanding.
