Movie Reviews of The Patron Saint of Liars
Movie Review: Is Rose a Saint or a Liar?
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking through a video guide recently, I was reminded that I never read the book The Patron Saint of Liars by Anne Patchett nor seen the cable movie. I decided to rent the movie and found msyelf spending a pleaurable time not only watching this movie but discussing it with friends who have seen the movie or read the book.
Rose, a young pregnant woman leaves home and finds herself
at a Christian home for unwed mothers. There she finds comfort
among the nuns and other pregnant girls. When she makes the
decision to keep her child and then marries another man,she
sets in motion a series of lies and behavior that will come
back to haunt her many years later.
I found the performances, particularly Sada Thompson as a nun and Dana Delaney as Rose, riveting. My one objection was that Ellyn Burstyn had much too small a role as the neighbor of the home for unwed mothers. I highly recommend this movie and look forward to reading the book.
