SYNPOSIS: In a world of church closures, bankrupt dioceses and scandalized clergy, Sinner is the story of one Catholic priest’s attempt to redeem his vocation and regain his integrity through an inconvenient muse. When his fundamentalist subordinate attacks a grifter, Lil (Georgina Cates), who preys on celibates, Father Anthony Romano (Nick Chinlund) intervenes with the police and reluctantly provides her asylum in his rectory. Soon Father Anthony finds his private world invaded when Lil discovers a secret he has carefully hidden from his colleagues and parishioners.
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING
“This is a helluva tight film that is bound to stir plenty of conversation. From one sinner to another – May “Sinner” rule! ****”
-- Eric Campos, Film Threat
“Sinner has a starkly dark, eerie vibe and go-for-broke performances by the principal players.”
-- Ted Alvarez, Vail Daily
“Viewers expecting another exposé of the Catholic Church may be disappointed with Sinner. Father Anthony Romano has more in common with priests depicted in The Bells of St. Mary’s than in Priest, and this film’s focus is clearly on the universal themes of forgiveness and redemption.”
-- Betty Jo Tucker, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
“It would seem we all have a way to go on the path to righteousness – Father Anthony just might be a step or two ahead of a great number of us.”
-- Don Bain, LaVoz Nueva
