The Conflict (2004)

Description

When a group of traditional Irish priests (lamenting the decline and modernization of their religion) attempt to break away and establish their own movement, it is left to Martin Sheen (on a mission from Rome) to confront the group. The Conflict is an interesting film that dares to tackle important issues in a serious, reverential, but also entertaining way. Strong performances, not just from Sheen, but also Trevor Howard, Michael Gambon and Cyril Cusack elevate this film to a moving experience that is both thought provoking and engaging at the same time.
