Movie Reviews of Therese
Movie Review: Insider view of the growth of a saint
Summary: 5 Stars
In this true story we are introduced to a family in which all the daughters can't wait to become Carmelite nuns. We don't often hear of such families these days. One of the nuns is an unbearably precious, loving, dutiful child, who is taught to keep a diary. The child becomes very sick with tuberculosis and dies of it. And everyone who knew her is transformed by knowing her.
After the events of the film, the diary becomes a best seller, and the girl is canonized in 1925. I cannot imagine a better way to put this story on film than the way this company and cast have done it. For viewers who have no clue as to the way of life in a Carmelite convent, this will be an eye-opener as well.
Movie Review: The best Family movie out there
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good intro to St. Therese's life. It is one of the only current movies out there that does not need edited before the family can watch it. My 2,3,4,and 5 year olds will sit through the entire movie. The music in the movie is wonderful, and you can't buy it anywhere for less than 15.99. What a deal! It begins with her life as a child and ends at her death of 24. It shows briefly some of the trials that she faced in order to show her "little way" of doing things in order to become a Saint. We can all take an example from this movie on bearing our crosses, the power of family prayer, and doing the little things to work with GOD.Movie Review: In line with the Little Way
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful movie. Some of the reviewers on this page seem to think that a more complex way of portraying St. Therese's Life would have been better. I disagree and I think St. Therese would as well. The movie's simple yet profound style draws the viewer to experience the "Little Way" by stilling the "hurry and entertain me" attitude of so many movie goers. One is able to absorb the music, the scenery, the characters. No fast flashing images or obscure symbolism, Just a straight forward story -ordinary- like most of our lives, like St Therese's life, which makes it a truer tribute to this great Saint and her "Little Way".Movie Review: a new cult movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw the movie in a community theatre setting with friends. We expected to view a beautiful inspirational film about a very popular saint. Therese, the film, was so bad that it was good. I bought the film and have viewed it 3 more times already and it just got funnier and funnier with each viewing. I will buy more copies as gifts for friends who share my sense of humor and will enjoy this gentle roasting of St. Therese. On the other hand, it brought the life of Therese to my attention. I will read her writings and life stories. In this simple way, I have been touched by St. Therese.Movie Review: Enlightened while on retreat in Chicago
Summary: 5 Stars
Having spent my first 16 years of schooling in Catholic institutions & having chosen Therese as my confirmation name, I found this movie humorously dazzling & entertaining to the highest degree!
To think that living in the 21 century the idea of blind obedience is now or ever has been a virtue is wrong & laughable in this film.
I refuse to believe that any intelligent Catholic would find this film a positive influence! Surely the Real St. Therese
deserves a better interpretation.
Yours in Christ,
Sr. Mary Therese, JPN
