An honest and good-hearted priest (Brendan Gleeson) wrestles with a cynical, spiteful community after he receives a death threat from an unknown parishioner. John Michael McDonagh’s "Calvary" (2014, 100 min) is the kind of movie that galvanizes and discomfits while it's on screen, and is terrific fodder for conversation long after its credits role. It serves as a marvelous showcase for Gleeson, a great old-lion actor who shows, in the film's many close-ups, a quiet, weary yet unbending faith, and a face on which emotion can play like a wave on the beach.
