*Spoilers ahead*. Overall a good film, great direction

*Spoilers ahead*. Overall a good film, great direction, cinematography, acting. It gets to be a little Lord of the Flies toward the end. The obvious brainwashing and religious indoctrination is appalling. Certain boys are treated terribly, especially amongst themselves. Most of the adults are manipulative, physically and emotionally abusive and commit grooming. It's indeed a wonderful critique on wealthy society and their privileged children. My one beef with this film, is why, just why, would you take an innocent, already mangled, mentally and emotionally damaged little boy and subject him to rape & murder? There was zero reason for that boy to go thru what he did, I don't see how it contributed to the script. Other than to shake the boys up to also murder a child.

This is not a horror film, even though

This is not a horror film, even though it is streaming on Shudder currently. It is, however, a powerful and deftly-made film about the horrors that happen when privilege and power go unchecked, and outer appearances matter more than inner motives or actions. One can look at this as a blistering indictment of the Catholic church's multiple levels of abuse, from colonial attitudes blindly tearing indigenous villages, lives and families apart to those church leaders in power wielding it to harm members of its own 'flock' and then cavalierly brushing any evidence under the carpet. It also serves as a chilling portrayal of what happens when kids are left to their own devices with no actual social guidance. There more than a little Lord of the Flies going on here. This is a difficult watch, but one that is important, and all-too-real with the many abuses we've found out about the Catholic church (and the Southern Baptists for that matter.)
