Movie Reviews of Mother Teresa
Movie Review: Thank you for making this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Just when I thought I was becoming a good person Mother Theresa brings me to my knees. The kids didn't want to watch a "religious movie" so they started email. After 15 minutes they'd put away their laptops and couldn't tear themselves away from the movie!
I watched it twice more after they left. How far we have come from the way we used to love and take care of others, I realized. It truly changed me.
This movie does a splendid job of emphasizing the lessons in love Mother Theresa teaches us while making sure we learned many of the interesting logistical problems she faced. I didn't know, for example, that the money used to build City of Peace turned out to be from corrupted money! What a pickle!
It's a vast vast story, too vast for 2 hours, and the movie-makers did an excellent job of choosing what parts to tell.
Movie Review: A rare treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
What a delightful surprise this movie is. Like other reviewers, my expectations of religious movies is not high. This one is exceptional. Mother Teresa, as portrayed by Olivia Hussey, just leaves one speechless in the face of her love and faith in action. I understand that the move has been praised by the Missionaries of Charity as an accurate, loving portrayal of their foundress. Certainly it does not try to hide or minimize her human frailty or the opposition that she had to overcome from governmental forces and even some within the Catholic Church. Her words and her life are inspiring, no other word for it. The only flaw in the movie, one easily overlooked, is the editing. It can get a little jumpy moving through time periods in her life. If I understood Italian I would order the original longer version, which no doubt is even better.Movie Review: Scenes for the Ages, show pctures of Despair, Poverty, Hope
Summary: 5 Stars
This awesome story of Mother Teresa who prayed to God by listening rather than only in words, gives scenes of Poverty, utter despair, gastly suffering, gradual Healing and Hope. As it flows along with pictures of Poverty, Suffering, Death & Dying I was reminded of 15 months of Clinical Pastoral Caring! At the Emory hospitals in the rooms of Billy Carter, Former GEORGIA Senators, Chap Douglas Turley and Joe Surber, I faced head-on Death and Dying nearly every day and many late night On-Call times.
Olivia Hussey surely earnes an Oscar or Two! Give it your best two day efforts by which to fathom its depth of Spiritual peace, Physical suffering, hopelessness, emptiness, loneliness, alongside impossible Problems of Mother Teresa's Committment and Ministering Love! Shalom, Sing-cerely, Retired Chaplain, Fred W Hood
Movie Review: Beautiful Story of Humility and Mercy
Summary: 5 Stars
Olivia Hussey does a beautiful job of portraying Mother Teresa, the nun whose life was humbly, gracefully, and wholly devoted to showing God's mercy to the "poorest of the poor" in the streets of Calcutta, India.
After serving as a nun for 20 years, she felt God's call away from the convent and into the dangerous streets among the poor and destitute. The Church said no. "Lord, what do you want from me?" she said. "Why can't I be like other nuns?" But obstacles were overcome. Barrier after barrier throughout her life and ministry, doors were opened for her to serve as she sensed God calling her to serve. The mark one small woman left on Calcutta, and on the entire world makes for an amazing and inspiring story. A highly recommended movie!
Movie Review: Great story about a great person!
Summary: 5 Stars
Throughout time God has sent saintly people to live among us and show us the way to live. Mother Teresa was certainly one of the saints of our time. This movie does a great job in telling her life story, and her openness to God's call to serve others. The poverty and way of life for those who live in Calcutta is almost impossible for us in America to imagine, and this movie really showed what it is like. I can't imagine seeing people lying in the street dying, and walking by and completely ignoring them. The holiness and humbleness of this great woman who served the poorest of the poor will never be forgotten.
