Movie Reviews of Therese
Movie Review: Short, to the point and truly beautiful art
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, the musical score is absolutely unforgetable. It flows with the mood for each new scene and one can visualize the parts of the movie simply by listening to the music,written and performed by one of the Carmelite nuns. Secondly, the photography,scenery and sets are top notch realistic from the gorgeous French countryside to the grill inside the cloister.
Thirdly, while this is a short film, it gets the saint's life and mission portrayed concisely with the very human aspects highlighted, which so many times is neglected when the lives of the heroic virtuous are recorded. Yes, it leads one to ask more questions, such as: what are more of the details of her life at home and her life as a nun during her short life? What about the years that she was placed in charge of the novices? Was she really homeschooled and for how long? How did her father's health progress from a generous,charitable,wealthy yet simple man to one whose life ended with a mental disorder or dementia? A great introduction to the life of Therese, to be enjoyed by all ages except the very young (guillotine scene).
Movie Review: Best I've seen in 40 years on The Little Flower
Summary: 5 Stars
This film as an unprecedentedly REALISTIC view of a saint I have read about for over 40 years. One must realize that life in the 19th century was not convenient or easy--and the convent life depicted reflects various aspects of that. Also, French culture at the time of her life was tolerant of much innocent, physical demonstrations of love among family members--also depicted in the film. I found this movie to be one of the most beautiful I have ever seen about her life. To one unfamiliar with the history and French culture of the 19th century, the sets would appear to be stark and barren. If we of the 21st century are appalled by that, I invite you to visit the Carmelite convent where Therese lived and died--compared to that, the sets used in the movie were luxurious! The acting was done with reverence, and the scenes depicting her death were awe-inspiring (and brought tears to my eyes)! A definite good work on the life of a Saint and Doctor of the Catholic Church!!
Movie Review: A Phenominal "Must Buy"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the kind of movie we Christians have been dreaming about for a long time to come out of Hollywood. THERESE is a fabulous, very visual historical movie, in the same cinematic style as a Merchant-Ivory movie; such as "Room with a View" or "Howard's End" yet told with a beautiful, deeply spiritual theme.
Anyone familiar --or not-- with the story of St. Therese will discover why THERESE is a mesmerizing, fantastic tale of very real Christian Virtue, struggle, and ultimate triumph. Moreover, this film is more than a rich, moving experience, told in a warm, gorgeous cinematic style. THERESE has changed many lives, for the better.
THERESE is a deeply moving, enchanting, and very rewarding film to watch. Thus, it is impossible to view just once or thrice. This is also a movie you'll want to share (and buy) for friends and family.
Movie Review: Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie! It was well directed, the actors were well chosen and did a good job. This is a DVD worth buying. The life of Ste Therese is so inspiring...that will remind everyone what life is really all about, that "to live is Christ to die is gain!" This movie will encourage anyone to have a closer walk with our Lord. There is a "desert place" for every child of God, a little haven where Jesus is lovingly waiting...from which He is calling. Let us do as Ste Therese did and answer that call!I do not think that it is a movie only good for "school viewing", and if you are concerned about the narrative part, don't be, because it is just occuring from time to time (not like some movies which have so much narration that they look like a documentary). It is a great and touching movie for all ages!Movie Review: Little Queen Theres
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful movie. Lindsay Younce is a very good
actor and it is like Theres by herself play in
the movie. She said in an interview:"I felt like Theres
stand beside me when I act."
Very identic places, a wonderful soundtrack and the
movie shows the whole live of the little Queen.
her parents and sisters were play by very good actors, too.
The scene when she died shows how she looked good in
the last minutes of her live and she died with a smiling
on her lips. And the illness was a very hurt one, it was
Tubercolose. One of the best movies I ever did see.
5 Stars for this authentic movie.
