Movie Reviews of Lilies of the Field
Movie Review: Classic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this movie! Ever since I was a child--it talks of behavior, faith, work ethic, community and society. Would have loved some extras, though. Like an interview with Mr. Poitier on his memories in making the movieMovie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies every movie buff should see at least once. This is a feel good movie to watch when you feel life is being too tough on you. I always liked this movie, but it is surprisingly realistic since I met Helga, a 79yo Berliner visiting the States. Mother Superior is NO caricature, they really do come that way.Movie Review: Lilies of the Field

I am not really a fan of Sidney Poitier ( this was purchased as a gift for my step father and he is a fan, state the movie was very good ) will borrow his one day and watch it, right now all I can do is rate it for him. Movie Review: Great Gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my best friend because he said it was the best movie of all times. He loved it as a gift!Movie Review: Amazing Catholic Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie in general and especially for any Catholic family. It is very entertaining with great acting from Sidney Poitier, as would be expected. But it is especially significant for Catholics. It shows us how God calls us to certain tasks in life. We can choose to disobey His Will, or we can choose to follow it. But if we choose to follow it, we should not expect thank you's, rewards, money, or even any recognition. The character played by Poitier is not treated well by the nuns at all, and yet he decides to accomplish what he was asked to do. Not that the nuns are portrayed badly, they are wonderful, pious sisters who humbly serve God and want the best for everyone, but are also determined and head strong: someone like Mother Teresa who if she was promised something by an official of a foreign government or company (for example building a orphanage), she would stubbornly pursue the issue until it was accomplished by that official. For those who love Catholic liturgy and history, figure out why the priest during the Mass in the movie is wearing sunglasses.
