Critic William Thomas

Quinn’s awakening from wounded war veteran to child saviour is convincing and cliché-free, while Glen’s turn as the sadistic Brother John is nothing short of terrifying.

In 1939, a new teacher named William Franklin arrives at St. Jude's Reformatory, a harsh Catholic school for boys in Ireland. Franklin's methods are met with resistance from Brother John, the sadistic head of discipline, who believes in punishment over rehabilitation. Franklin fights to liberate the boys from their oppressors and befriends an abused boy named Patrick. When Patrick is killed by Brother John in a fit of rage, Franklin is devastated and decides to leave the school. But at the funeral, he is moved by Patrick's poem "Comrades" and is persuaded to stay and continue fighting for the boys' rights. Based on true events, this powerful drama is an emotional journey of hope and inspiration in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
