Help me to understand. This is supposed to be a Catholic substack. I read your posts looking for recommendations based upon that. Yet the movies have pornography and similar imagery. I can't actually use any of your recommendations as a catholic. "We see graphic detail of young boys defecating with strong rear nudity as their rectums are shown in detail." What priest is cool with that?
Considering the film is rated R and not NC-17, and nudity is not mentioned in the MPAA description, it seems to me that user-generated detail from the IMDB Parents Guide may be exaggerating a bit; a secondary source on that would be welcome. However, I should note that the post is only talking about movies that seem interesting to me just from their description/trailer/reviews, please note that the preview is NOT AN ENDORSEMENT FOR ANY OF THE FILMS MENTIONED. In fact, you will able to hear my full thoughts on the film next week when I post an actual review. And if that detail somehow holds to be an accurate image of what is to come in the film, you certainly will not be getting a positive review from me. If you would like recommendations, please refer to almost any other post we have put out (i.e., 100 Movies, reviews, Weekly Watches).
I find it hard to believe that Alfred Hitchcock didn't like twist endings, especially considering that he made the movie with one of the greatest twist endings ever: Psycho.
I just saw The Wrong Man in July, along with Hitchcock's other "very Catholic" film, I Confess. Here's a piece written by Steven Greydanus, my favorite movie critic and a Catholic deacon: https://decentfilms.com/articles/hitchcock-catholic. He says that The Wrong Man is probably his favorite Hitchcock film too. Both are very good, but I think my favorite will always be Psycho.
