ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"A bold, blunt, yet clinically intelligent film," raves The Playlist, "It's all at once a gripping thriller, an incendiary social critique and a mordant moral fable." Director Pablo Larraín (JACKIE, NO) affirms his status as a cinematic master with this Golden Globe nominated film story of four disgraced priests and a nun (Antonia Zegers) who receive a visit from a clerical counselor (Marcelo Alonso). Winner of the Silver Berlin Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, THE CLUB explores weighty themes with a slightly satirical edge.

SYNOPSIS

A crisis counselor is sent by the Catholic Church to a small Chilean beach town where disgraced Priests and nuns, suspected of crimes ranging from child abuse to baby-snatching from unwed mothers, live secluded, after an incident occurs.

SYNOPSIS

"It’s a terrifically smart film…crucial, thrilling and disturbing."

Time Out London

"It’s a surprising and often thought-provoking effort from a filmmaker who has never chosen to take the simple path, confirming Larrain as one of the more genuine talents working in cinema today."

Hollywood Reporter

"A bold, blunt, yet clinically intelligent film ... it's all at once a gripping thriller, an incendiary social critique and a mordant moral fable."
