  • Eye of God -- Brooding drama set in rural Oklahoma where a orphaned teen (Nick Stahl) is befriended by a troubled woman (Martha Plimpton) who has married a born-again ex-con (Kevin Anderson) without knowing the crime for which he was imprisoned. Writer-director Tim Blake Nelson builds the mystery-laden narrative to a shattering climax in a tale of psychotic madness hiding behind fundamentalist ravings. Brief violence with grizzly shots of corpses, an explicit abortion scene, fleeting nudity and some rough language as well as profanity. (A-IV) (R) ( 1997 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
