It isn't usually a good sign when a film boasts more producers than cast principals - and this has 16 of them. As a result, writer/director Maeve Murphy seems to have been striving to please too many people while balancing a number of thorny issues in this sincere but overwrought drama. At its core is a tentative romance between rape victim Katie (Cara Seymour) and Sheamy (Scot Williams), an Irish ex-priest who has come to London after being released from prison to find the mentor who abused him as a young curate. While Murphy makes some fascinating contrasts between the ways in which her characters cope with their trauma, her dialogue and staging are often portentous. As she proved with Silent Grace (2001), which centred on the infamous dirty protest in Armagh women's prison in 1980, Murphy is not afraid to tackle taboos. But this unflinching indictment of Catholic hypocrisy lacks nuance.
