We all know that most priests suck, right? (And, with the recent flood of sexual abuse cases, we know they blow as well.) Twist of Fate documents the tale of Ohio firefighter/sexual abuse-by-priest survivor Tony Comes, who goes public with his plight after the Catholic church (surprise!) tries to cover up the story. It's a tale of repressed anger, guilt, and frustration--not just towards his abuser, but towards the church Comes has respected his entire life, blah, blah, blah. Marginally compelling, Kirby Dick's doc gradually becomes Tony's whine-fest, and Tony soon starts seeming less like an abuse victim and more like a bad actor playing an abuse victim.
