This is a thoughtful film on many levels, a tale told without hammering the message home(or to the cross). While Scorsese's heart is clearly with the Catholic priests and the persecuted faithful, he allows the story to unfold at its own pace and manner, disclosing both the folly and nobility of the doomed mission. The final part probes into the paradox of Christianity, how one is nearest to God in failure than in success.
Rating: 5/5
