The movie is perfect in its attention to detail, in its casting of Montand as the political prisoner. Confession fails as entertainment while it succeeds as a statement. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- The Confession exhibits signs of post-masterpiece fatigue, though it makes up for some of it with sheer gutsiness. Full Review

Costa-Gavras's vision of horror as 'a mere formality' Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- The structure becomes complex but never confusing, and Costa-Gavras always seems to be urgently on the move, wanting to tell us more than can be told. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- Costa-Gavras dramatizes Gérard's ordeal and makes us feel his pain, his exhaustion, but most of all the terrible loss of his sense of self. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Father Bartlett is an honorable man of God in a small Montana town. A person is murdered outside the local saloon, and the minister's innocent brother, Tom, is arrested for the crime. Bound by the seal of silence regarding confession, Bartlett is faced with choosing between his duty to the church or his own flesh and blood.

Beginning his acting career on Broadway at the turn of the 20th century, Henry B. Walthall found his way to film through Biograph Studios, where D. W. Griffith had just started directing. After starring as Colonel Ben Cameron in Griffith's Birth of a Nation (1915), Walthall went on to enjoy an extensive career, appearing in films such as The Scarlet Letter (1926) with Lillian Gish and A Tale of Two Cities (1935).
