Movie Reviews of St. Teresa of Avila
Movie Review: Best of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Superlative production. Outstanding acting, writing, and directing. The production design is flawless - watching it is to go back in time to the 16th century and witness the life of St. Teresa unfold (no Hollywood-like sets here). A mature, thoughtful, well-researched, and respectful treatment of this great saint.
Don't be concerned about the English subtitles; they do not detract at all from the enjoyment of this captivating movie. (I ordered this DVD set from Spain when Region 1 (U.S./Canada) was not available yet, and played it on my computer; so delighted it is finally in a format we can see on our TV's in the U.S.).
For those with a devotion to St. Teresa, or for anyone who enjoys the lives of saints, it does not get any better than this.
Movie Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is amazing, but the lead actress both looked and acted exactly as how I have always thought Saint Teresa would have looked and acted. She did such a great job! The movie was very well done, and although I would have liked to have seen more attention paid to her mystical experiences and her spiritual trials, there was still plenty in this movie to show what an amazing woman this saint was. I definitely recommend this movie. It has an aura about it that really makes you feel as if you are in the Spain of her time. It takes you into the Carmelite spirit in a way. And, the sets are so well done! In some scenes it looked so much like the real Monastery of the Incarnation in Avila that I had to get out my photos to double check! Great film.Movie Review: St. Teresa of Avila
Summary: 5 Stars
Very amazing autobiographical movie about the life of this amazing saint. It takes you through her life from the moment she realized that changing her order in religious life to better their relationship with Christ to her personal demons concerning her beliefs, her fight against pride and others that were jealous of her in the church. It's great for anyone interested in the lives of the Saints. Concha Velasco gives an inspiring performance and it's subtitled unless you speak Spanish.Movie Review: A Must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had watched this series on Cable, and was glad to purchase it now. This is a masterpiece: The quality of the acting is superb,the scripts are of great depth and bring to life complex, multi-dimensional characters, especially St. Teresa of Avila. The re-creation of the historical period is very believable and shows careful attention to detail. This production is easily something that can be used as entertaining or as a resource for reflexion and study, or both.Movie Review: Spiritual awakening
Summary: 5 Stars
I really loved this DVD -
However before the purchase I would have like to know about the languages selection (what are they?)I did not know - That bothered me.
But it is not for everyone audience - There some long sections (which you come to appreciate after watching it several times.
Overall I would recommend it to persons who are looking for strong spiritual upliftment and appreciation.
