i didn't intend to say anything about this, but there was a personal comment i had to get off my chest, so needed a placeholder for it.
my experience with it was sabotaged by being the latest in a thematic combo; it's especially unfortunate that i watched it just one day after alex gibney's mea maxima culpa: silence in the house of god which has a similar structure, but is more memorable in every way. craftsmanship aside, mmc benefited from 6 years of developments, giving it more to work with as the companion to the central abuse case. still, deliver us from evil didn't try to broaden the scope in a similar way. despite the generic title hinting at an exploration of a more general phenomenon, it is entirely focused on this one case. well, fine, this is a filmmaker's choice, after all. and i do understand it.
amy berg had access to the candid, chatty abuser, not just footage of official interviews. with this, with the camera able to reveal the utterly wrong, genuinely evil (and i don't normally use that word, but this guy must be seen to be believed) real person behind the case, his justifications, his minimizing language, the smirk, those tinkling eyes... the documentary is able to actually show the evil in the title. in this respect, focusing on the case is definitely the right choice here.
what didn't work for me: despite the victims being adults and agreeing to appear on camera, there was a tremendous emphasis on parents and how their life was destroyed by the abuse their daughter endured and by the betrayal this meant from the church. even when their daughter herself talked, she mentioned this, the effect it had on her parents. it skeeved me out. there is not much amy berg could have done if the victims didn't agree to talk about their abuse, but she could have avoided making this about the parents, limited the number of scenes with endless talking about their own pain and tears.
also, the last bit was so poorly done that it seemed like its addition was a last minute afterthought. the "keep the camera rolling to capture these people's pain" approach didn't work because the plan was too weird to leave unexplained.
i'm still musing on my personal comment, raging and ranting inside.
