What is Searchlight Pictures Calvary?

Searchlight Pictures' "Calvary" is a 2014 Irish drama that tells the story of Father James Lavelle, a kind-hearted Catholic priest in a small Irish town who is threatened while delivering Holy Communion. The threat comes from a member of his congregation who tells him he will be killed in seven days, not for anything that he's done, but because he's a good priest and the congregation will feel the loss.

As Father James tries to come to grips with the threat and who might be behind it, he begins to take a closer look at the problems of his small town, including the local church, where the other priests are more interested in their own problems than reaching out to the community. Father James also has to deal with his own past and his relationship with his estranged daughter.

Throughout the film, Father James is a center of calm in a stormy world, and his patience and kindness towards the people he meets is touching. However, as the days count down towards the threat, tensions rise, and the film turns towards its climactic ending, which no one could have predicted.

"Calvary" is a powerful film, which captures the beauty and the tragedy of Ireland in equal measure. It's a film that will leave you thinking, even after the credits have rolled, about the nature of faith, forgiveness, and what it means to stand up for one's beliefs. With its amazing performances, haunting cinematography, and nuanced script, "Calvary" is a must-see film for anyone interested in theater, cinema, or simply a good story.
