Full Plot Details

Recently ordained a priest, 24-year-old Father Amaro is sent to a small parish church in Los Reyes, Mexico to assist the aging Father Benito in his daily work. Benito--for years a fixture in the church as well as the community--welcomes Father Amaro into a new life of unseen challenges. Upon arriving in Los Reyes, the ambitious Father Amaro meets Amelia, a beautiful 16-year-old girl whose religious devotion soon becomes helplessly entangles in a growing attraction to the new priest. Amelia is quickly following into the footsteps of her mother, Sanjuanera, who has been engaged in a long-time affair with Father Benito. Amaro soon discovers that corruption and the Church are old acquaintances in Los Reyes. Father Benito has been receiving financial help from the region's drug lord for the construction of a new health clinic. As well, another priest in the diocese, Father Natalio, is suspected of assisting guerilla troops in the highlands. Maenwhile, Amelia and Father Amaro have fallen in love and have begun a passionate sexual relationship. As things become increasingly more complicated in the small community, the walls around Father Amaro begin to crumble. Torn between the divine and the carnal, the righteous and the unjust, Father Amaro must summon his strength to choose which life he will lead.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittExcellent acting, intelligent screenwriting, and dynamic filmmaking give this Mexican production a forceful emotional and intellectual charge.
Boulder Weekly - 10/10 by Thomas DelapaWhile the issues the film raises are acutely topical, Carrera seems bent on carrying on a crusade rather than creating a realistic drama.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekExhibits the shallow sensationalism characteristic of soap opera...more salacious telenovela than serious drama.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Randy CordovaJust turn on Univision or Telemundo some night and see the same thing without the highfalutin pretensions.
New York Observer - 9/10 by Rex ReedThe story is timeless, but when adapted to the modern age, it makes for a wrenching film -- never preachy or sentimental, and refreshingly non-judgmental about the fundamental and contradictory issues it raises.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura Cliffordlong on licentiousness and short on subtlety...Amaro is given no arc - he simply leaps off one
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Carrie RickeyA feverish melodrama about an idealist who, in following his heart and his bishop's orders, leads himself into temptation and his parish into hypocrisy.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Wesley MorrisBernal, with his sweet man-boy looks, makes Padre Amaro's portrait of corruption all the more flabbergasting in its irony.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonMay be morally tangled, pessimistic, lurid and foreboding, but it's also humanistic.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by John HartlThe story line may be 127 years old, but El Crimen del Padre Amaro ... couldn't be more timely in its despairing vision of corruption within the Catholic establishment.
