Synopsis

Secluded deep in the forests of Central Europe, a strictly devout Christian community is suffering a crisis of faith following a series of unsettling incidents and a devastating loss. When a young man stumbles onto their compound bearing scars of trauma, the community welcomes him in and nurses him back to health. He is slowly initiated into their farming life and scriptural regime, but the mystery of where he comes from only grows. After his actions avert a potential tragedy, the community puts him to the test as it desperately seeks answers.

Reviews

"Undeniably intriguing through the lens of the talented Irish filmmaker Daly, whose third feature is as bewitching as it is mysterious"
"Cinematographer Tibor Dingelstad's silver-lit compositions and sound designer Steve Fanagan's austere audio landscape – which emphasises blowing winds and natural stillness – have considerable effect, reiterating the characters' abstemious lives and the heightening the film's hushed tone."
Ben Croll, Screen Daily

"This is a film weighted with questions, balancing this burden with a luminous beauty"

Jenny Kermode, Eye for Film
"Good Favour is a powerful and gripping film that explores the deep complexities of faith and its consequences, particularly in the face of crisis."
Dakota Heveron, Film Ireland Magazine
