Movie Reviews of Saint Rita
Movie Review: Fiction with a dab of fact thrown in.
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this movie on EWTN and was tempted to purchase it. However, I checked St. Rita's life story first. The REAL story would have been more encompassing. Imagine a twelve year-old girl being forced into a marriage, then overcoming death and mayhem, while keeping her faith, and finally being rewarded with Heaven's imprimatur. Now there is a story worth telling. What a noble soul! Smaltz is a poor way to portray her noble life.
Frankly, when it comes to the lives of the Saints I am tired of being presented with seriously misleading drama. Shame on the so-called Catholic press who market the deceptions as they play fast and loose with the facts. No more DVD's on the lives of the Saints. I'll stick to reliable books. Thanks Amazon for giving us a choice. Save your money, unless you like to be deceived.
Summary of Saint Rita
Famous as the patron of hopeless situations, St. Rita of Cascia is immortalized in this wonderful, deeply moving film about this beautiful woman who lived in Italy in the 14th century. Starring Vittoria Belvedere and Martin Crewes, this powerful story combines high drama, great love, deep betrayal, senseless tragedy, profound forgiveness and strong faith as it tells the story of this brave and loyal woman who married her knight, helped him overcome his dark past and convert to faith, happily bore him two childern, and later endures immense pain as she loses everything in her life. She finds peace and new hope through generosity of a nearby convent of sisters, and with their help she develops a deep union with Christ that greatly inspires all who near her.Drama DVD Video
