The true-life story of boxer-turned-priest, Father Stuart Long, whose journey from self-destruction to redemption inspired countless people along the way.

Review:

Being Catholic I have been taught about Lent and conversion. Father Stu is a story of conversion. Stu has let’s say a colorful life. A boxer, anger towards God, and a broken family which anger is about Stu’s brothers death. Fresh and a new story; I never seen a film quite like Father Stu. There is a reality, which the viewer can relate with.

Wahlberg had a great role, but Gibson outshines everyone in a supporting role of the troubled dad.. Wahlberg’s conversion starts with the end of a boxing career, (maybe the start of an illness) and a chance meeting with a girl. The conversion process slowly starts. There is the question of do we build faith in our weakness, and sufferings. A priest once mentioned this mystery to me once. Father Stu gives answers to such faith questions. But Father Stu has many more questions. Was it Jesus, or a saint at the bar? Was there vision Marry? There is a mystery we the viewer are not told. Threw Stu’s term oil, and illness the viewer experience a conversion and God’s plan. Stu threw others, there is a conversion experience with others.

Father Stu will bother you because of the rawness with the movie. Many reasons to be resentful with anger, and one reason to be happy? A hard life, which reflects hard questions. Well acted and directed!
