Rated Going My Way 6/10

This is a film with a lot of heart, enough that I was about to give this movie a higher score than it really deserves. It's a slow-burner, if you have little patience or attention span, don't watch this. For the rest of us though, please check this out. It may be slow, but in my opinion, never unbearably so. It's very consistently paced, which definitely surprised me. The tone was a bit uneven, the start of the movie definitely felt quite different from the rest of the movie. It introduces a lot of characters and resolves all of their storylines minus the atheist at the beginning who gets his window smashed. Did Father O'Malley ever get it fixed? God only knows. Honestly, this movie surprised me. I can genuinely see how this was such a critical darling at the time. While it may not hold up completely today, it is still good. Honestly, my only true complaint is the overly simplistic dialogue. It's a bit noticeable at times, but once again, it's mostly forgiveable due to how much heart this movie exudes. 3.5/5 = Pretty good
