Religious holiday fare from December 2007, Noelle presents an American Catholic priest with a guilty secret. He needs, and receives, the same spiritual consolation the parish padre in Bernanos’ novel Diary of a Country Priest receives. A small-town Catholicism now dying, now given new life, makes for some palatable material, but almost nothing in David Wall’s script is easy to swallow. I like his acting (he plays the priest) and directing, but not the bogus writing.
