The Club (2015) - 98 min

Country: Chile
Director: Pablo Larraín
Cast: Roberto Farías, Antonia Zegers, Antonia Zegers & Alejandro Goic.
Four retired priests live in a kind of open prison house and Sister Monica takes care of them. With the arrival of another priest, things start to change. A crisis counselor is sent by the Catholic Church to investigate the events happened in that club.
The club is a darkly twisted drama that often talks about abuse, rape, and all other horrific topics. it's a deeper look at the Catholic Church’s problems and the judging factor of the movie is the final act which is very good. Spotlight film also discusses the same Catholic priest issues. Meanwhile, Club unfolds the same Catholic issues through their conversations with each other and also confronting their past sins. It was selected as the Chilean entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards. Overall, it's a movie that asks so many questions about religion, atonement and every character in the film is written with so many details make it a good watch.
Verdict: Good
