GOOD FAVOUR

Cinemavixion Review

Rebecca Daly's 2017 film "Good Favour" offers a subtle yet potent exploration of faith, doubt, and the insidious nature of manipulation. Set within a cloistered Christian community grappling with a crisis of belief, the narrative takes a significant turn with the arrival of a wounded stranger. As Vincent Romeo's character is nursed back to health, his presence begins to unravel the community's fragile peace, revealing motives that are as unsettling as they are gradually unveiled. The film, co-written by Daly and Glenn Montgomery, stars Romeo alongside Lars Brygmann and Clara Rugaard, drawing viewers into a parable that questions the very foundations of devotion. Garnering 1 win and 2 nominations, "Good Favour" is a masterclass in atmospheric tension and psychological depth, proving that sometimes, the greatest mysteries lie not in the supernatural, but in the human heart. Its blend of drama and mystery, as noted by its genre classification, invites a deep dive into the complexities of belief and the consequences of welcoming the unknown.
