Jonah K @RT99883862 07/31/2024 Really subverted what I have come to know from media that covers this topic. These people were represented as complex beings with dignity rather than victims to pity. A devastating subject matter portrayed with so much empathy that impressively avoids the manipulative pitfalls found in other documentaries. See more 12/27/2021 Procession is a difficult but rewarding watch. I thought this was just gonna be a straightforward documentary about these 6 men and their horrific experiences with the Catholic Church. But it was actually about these men making films to process their trauma. It was a fascinating watch, seeing how drama therapy helped these men. The scenes they film are hard to watch but thankfully are done tastefully. Overall, this is a great documentary. If you are okay with watching something very dark give this a watch. See more Theodore H @thuber215 12/22/2021 The story of how these men deal with the horror and injustice of what was done to them as boys is so important but so difficult to tell. The film told it truly and beautifully. Its a great film. See more 11/30/2021 It's always been kind-boggling to me how people can be so disgusting. There is no excuse or appeal ever for pedophilia. I am appalled at what these men had to go through. It's so sad and heartbreaking to see grown men break down crying and feeling violated like that. The concept of this movie was brilliant. It was the first time that I heard of cinema being used as a medium for therapy, and I loved it. Seeing the guys helping each other overcoming each of their own demons was sweet and powerful. I do wish the movie talked a bit more about the effect or mechanism of drama therapy, as this technique should be popular. The pacing can be slow at times, but there were many strong and hopeful moments, especially when we started watching the scenes. Overall, an amazing documentary that was both refreshing and powerful. 8-8.5/10 See more 11/25/2021 An attack on the Church, shows that the film was made with bad intentions, I do not recommend watching it. See more 11/24/2021 A beautiful documentary that explores shared trauma and ways to move past it. It succeeds in making you feel so empathetic and proud of these men moving on from the demons who have haunted them for decades. Absolutely essential viewing! See more Read all reviews
