Note(s) : Father Greg Lockwood is unlike any Catholic priest you have ever met, a man who lounges
in boxer shorts, loves action movies, and whose constant jamming on the guitar reverberates
"like a whole band dying in a plane crash in 1972." His daughter is an irreverent
poet who long ago left the Church's country. When an unexpected crisis leads her and
her husband to move back into her parents' rectory, their two worlds collide. In Priestdaddy,
Lockwood interweaves emblematic moments from her childhood and adolescence, from an
ill-fated family hunting trip and an abortion clinic sit-in where her father was arrested
to her involvement in a cultlike Catholic youth group, with scenes that chronicle
the eight-month adventure she and her husband had in her parents' household after
a decade of living on their own. Lockwood details her education of a seminarian who
is also living at the rectory, tries to explain Catholicism to her husband, who is
mystified by its bloodthirstiness and arcane laws, and encounters a mysterious substance
on a hotel bed with her mother. Lockwood pivots from the raunchy to the sublime, from
the comic to the deeply serious, exploring issues of belief, belonging, and personhood.
Priestdaddy is an entertaining, unforgettable portrait of a deeply odd religious upbringing,
and how one balances a hard-won identity with the weight of family and tradition
