The life of St. Rita ... A Catholic movie. Highly recommend! Good story, well directed and produced.Movie Review: Not 100% historically accurate, but still very good!
Summary: 4 Stars
Many reviewers here unfairly criticize that this movie is not 100% historically accurate. E.g., this movie omits that young Rita "had set her heart upon dedicating herself to God in the Augustinian convent at Cascia, but when her father and mother decreed that she should marry, she sorrowfully submitted, deeming that in obeying them she was fulfilling God's will." (Butler's Lives of the Saints: u.arizona.edu/~aversa/rita_di_cascia.pdf). Other than that, it follows fairly well the story as presented in Butler's Lives of the Saints.
I especially like the good cinematography, Italian scenery, and medieval aura to the whole film; it is very inspiring.
Movie Review: Good entertainment ....
Summary: 4 Stars
I think the Saint Rita movie was nice, but it definitely is NOT a historically accurate telling of what the church knows of Saint Rita. Within todays present day culture and apathy for all things religious the movie is as close to a chick flick as you can get, you almost begin to think that the main character is Paolo and not Rita! All in all I did enjoy it, what I appreciated is the "study guide" a small pamphlet included inside the DVD case, it is very informative and gives you a better grasp of what is actually know about Rita and what is legend,this helps the viewer to determine what was an actual fact and what the director took artistic liberty in.
