I could feel my heart thumping. As a 30 year old Marine that's supposed to look tough, I feel my heart mushy and the compassion that one feels for the boy's terrible plight. I am definitely going to see this movie.
I saw this in the theater and was blown away by how well done it was. The entire theater cheered and cried at the same times. A Buddhist woman in the theater afterwards told me that this movie "was all about humanity and everyone should see it." I agree.
I wish I could see it in theaters. A movie im actually wanting to see. Unfortunately because it is a movie without a ton of violence and about a Catholic woman, I can't find it in a theater any where near me!
I pray that Angel Studios will create more movies about Saints in the future. Thank you for bringing us Cabrini. A true masterpiece, her life is truly inspirational, the director did a wonderful job capturing the essence of Saint Cabrini. Thank you, Thank you.
I think Angel Studios is the Distributor and helped produce it. Nothing more. It is not a Catholic owned Studio from what I gathered. While I think the Director is Catholic, it was made with the idea of being distributed to a wider audience beyond Catholics. I have not seen the movie but the clip I saw of Pope Leo XIII and Mother Cabrini I think did capture The Pope accurately. Pope Leo XIII was very concerned about industrialization and how it could be used to exploit workers hence he issued Rerum Novorum a papal encyclical highlighting workers are entitled to safe working conditions, fair wages while affirming the rights of property property and business, entrepreneurship and free enterpise.
Very touching to see a woman with a zeal for a mission. Thank you for bringing this movie to light on issues of immigrants arriving in America. I came to this country at the age of 14 escaping from communism 42 years ago and was in the foster care system. The fruits of Mother Cabrini paved the way for someone like me to succeed in America. God bless!
Thank you Angel studios! Saw the movie and it was so inspiring! As a former protestant turned Catholic, so happy to see a movie on the life of one of our great Saints. Please keep them coming on the lives of our great Saints!
One of the best movies I have ever watched. Of course the story St. Cabrini is deeply moving, the bleeding hearts of immigrants are yearning for dignity and the challenge of accepting the other is ubiquitous, but, beyond all that, this movie is true piece of art. The attention to detail and the artistic effects are subtle yet sublime. Thank you for this amazing work. I cried with joy, compassion, ambition, love and hope for humanity. Io sono un emigrante.
I recently saw this movie & thoroughly enjoyed it. The only problem which is a huge problem is Jesus was not mentioned at all. As a Catholic which is really irrelevant, any Christian or even non-Christian would expect a Canonized Saint to be praying to Jesus throughout their lives. Giving thanks for his help/ successes and praying for assistance during times of difficulty. Which as the movie clearly depicted Mother Cabrini had many difficult times. But no praying to Jesus/God. We can be certain she did and that should have been shown. I hope Angel Studios will do more movies about Catholic Saints in the future. I trust this oversight will be corrected in the future. You can always consult EWTN, the Vatican, or other trusted valid sources to obtain information accurate/true information of the Saints. Adding the Saints prayer life to any future movies about them is something that your audience will expect as that is truly an accurate presentation of the Saints life. Thank you. Please keep making wonderful Christian movies/series. I love the Chosen. I’m praying for your success. May God Bless you.
What's disturbing is that they did have Catholic consultation when making this. But Angel Studios doesn't actually value Catholicism. They hide it. They hid her devotion to the Sacred Heart and depicted her as a social worker. Not okay. We are too desperate for a Hollywood alternative so the faithful are accepting Angel Studios despite these facts. Well I'm not. Didn't see the film and I won't. Good cinematography is not what seculars need. They need Jesus, undiluted
I got turned off when she was telling the sisters, “we must trust in ourselves…”-said no Saint ever. What Cabrini would have said is we place all of our trust in God.
Yes, I will not watch it because of this. What's the point? The Ewtn version may not have great cinematography, etc. But it does depict her constant reliance on God and her boundless devotion and trust in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I'll stick with that.
I was a Catholic turned follower of Jesus Christ; but I have Catholic friends that faithfully follow Him too. This pope is not a Christian, so I cannot, in good conscience be joined to that religion any longer. And there are other precepts like the worship of Mary that are simply not biblical. That said, I am also very disappointed that Angel Studios did not bring Christ into the picture. It would have made ALL the difference.😢
@@jimcastiglione7657 Jim, as I'm sure you have heard repeatedly, we don't worship Mary. Why don't you ask God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to show you the truth about the Catholic Church and Mary? Knock and keep knocking. We are in the Catholic Church because it is the Church Christ instituted, and like Christ, his Church will go through its Passion, and so we remain faithful at the foot of the Cross of the one true church. Whether the Pope is good or bad is not for us to say, as we have the example of Jesus who never treated the perfidious Apostle, Judas, any differently than the other Apostles, leading to their confusion at the Last Supper on who would be the one to betray him. In fact, we know from the Mystical writings approved by the Church that before Judas fell to greed, he became consumed with pointing out the faults of the other Apostles and distanced himself from the Blessed Mother. Two things for those of us who love Jesus to be very wary of.
...stunning...Stunning...STUNNING cinematography. Each frame is a work of Art. Transcending + Transcendent, just like its message that is so desperately needed in our current time. Astonishing just "how much" has changed...shocking "how little" has changed.
The background music and opera were excellent. The acting was great plus storyline, but the photographic images really made the film really fantastic. I felt transported to that place and time of the film.
A wonderful true story: A saint who inspired with strength and determination as much as results! The papal audience was thoughtfully done. I am glad the legacy remains to teach us still. Mother Theresa will have known her story well.
Mother Theresa was at the canonization of Mother Cabrini. When she returned to her order, she stated that she was leaving to form a new order of nuns to serve the poorest of the poor in India. She wanted to be like Mother Cabrini and she went on to accomplish great things for the poor people of India. She too was canonized, a few years ago.
I saw the movie last week. WHAT LOVE AND COURAGE, MOTHER CABRINI had for the orphans around the world!!! What a testimony of The Most Highs Love demonstrated through a precious servant of our LORD!!!!
A beautiful film, no doubt, but sadly lacking in any mention or acknowledgement of Mother Cabrini's anchor throughout all of her trials and triumphs - her Lord and Savior (and ours), Jesus Christ. I pray you may be even bolder in your future, and very worthy, efforts.
I saw this movie and loved it. So many people get told by others negative things and they allow themselves to be held back by that negativity. I was actually surprised and elevated that her determination did not stop her one bit; so much so that she lived longer than those who told her she was going to die young. Congratulations on a successful movie, Alejandro!!
Amazing saint! Excellent movie, incredibly shot. Felt like I was in 19th century NYC. Props to Angel Studios, and to all those that currently are following God's call in their life.
I didn´t know the story of Madre Cabrini. What a corageous and passsionate woman on a mission to save the lives of immigrant children in New York! I would love to be able to see the movie!
We need more true female role models in the world. Especially now, with all the Kardashian's and pop stars who are shallow and superficial. We need to see real talent and integrity so they can understand what living a meaningful life is really like.
The movie in itself is an amazing production. However, it only focuses on the human effort and succes rather than including how it is God who made all things possible like all saints always say and give all the credit to God. I saw the movie and loved it but did notice the lack of prayer, and asking God for help. I say this with the best of intentions so that in the next productions God can also take part in amazing movies like this.
I think that's a very good and important point. If you take out prayer, the source of her strength and love, then you miss the very heart of who Mother Cabrini was and the reason for her being. I have seen this in many 'saint' movies where the filmmakers seem afraid to portray, or perhaps are just not personally familiar with, the interplay between deep prayer and action. I think of the Ignatian idea of 'contemplatives in action' and this is what often fails to be communicated. Without this, we are simply seeing the modern notion of a social justice warrior. It isn't a true portrayal of those who love and follow God with their whole heart, mind, and soul.
I just saw it this evening, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The actress was wonderful, and the film delivered many powerful insights about perseverance, assertiveness vs. obedience, women in the Church and in the world, the plight of immigrants, poverty and sexual violence, hypocrisy, sexism... I could go on and on. Some say it didn't show enough of the sisters' prayer life. I would have liked to see that, but it did touch on it; the message the film ended up with was more universal.
Wow!!!! GRANDIOSA!!! en solo 20 minutos me ha inspirado! Ya quiero verla!!!!!!! Grande Alejandro Monteverde!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Gracias a todos los que han hecho posible que la historia y el legado de la Madre Santa Francesca Cabrini llegue a todo el mundo e inspire a millones de corazones ! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🙏🎞️🎥
Thank you for making films about people who matter...who made a difference in their world...who changed their world for the better...real life superheros...saints...dts/usa
Amazing, Thank you for a work of art, I cried with love for the film Conoleta, thank you for bringing us the holy mother Cabrini, Thank you for this legacy to Catholicism, thank you for this gift of love, I will continue to fill movie theaters, I am the owner of Epi3 and I support totally this magnificent work, thank you very much, in thanks we will give a special mass at the Mother Cabrini temple in NY, my second home of the heart ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤2016. I was working in Mishawaka indiana and visited Norte dam library, I remember seeing a small exhibit of Cabrini. I saw all her work and how she started the orphanage and did so much. It was. Like another Tesla story. This movie did a great job. Thank you. Frank Martinez Downey California
I lived on Cabrini Blvd. In NYC. I went to the Church where St. Cabrini's body is entombed. It was an experience to sit in that chapel looking at her through a thick glass case. Many did not know of her. Now they certainly will. Bless her and her son!❤
🌹🙏Excellent comment!!❤yet as we speak now of her & her work for Christ & w/ the many religious groups now working in NY, the Crimes against children are Horrendous, yet no religious people step foward. WHAT crippling, & suffocating FORCE is choking off religious energy thta is needed to work for Christ????Praying & wondering.🙏✝️😇🌹
@@petelee9887pete...I'm sorry I'm catholic, pure and holy, is a small advantage of being Catholic, blessings are incredibly abundant. Anyone may be Catholic, it's really not that easy, try it.
Who said she would be praying constantly in the movie. There's not one scene of prayer. It's just an observation and it seems strange to me. It is a great movie, I absolutely love it.@@monnieholmes7113
I worked 4 years as security at the Cabrini Medical Tower in Seattle, WA. I learned that she had her real estate broker get the property far less than what it was worth and then paid his commission in Rosary Beads.😁
Kudos to Angel Studios for doing films like this. But. Many reviewers are correct in asking, "Where's Jesus?" How can you have a movie about a saint that's devoid of any mention or even whisper of Jesus's name or any explicit reference to God? Why the fear to mention "Jesus" when He was who she was all about, who she was really serving. When people go to watch a movie about a saint, they expect to hear very overt religious themes and references so to exclude these is not only disappointing but also a lost opportunity to evangelize.
I watched the trailer movie above and I had the same feelings: we don't see her praying or naming the name of God, and while visiting the Holy Father in Rome, she did not seem at all humble in front of him.. To me, it's more '' feminist'' point on view in producing this movie. Sorry, I will certainly not watch this movie , movie that is supposed to represent a Catholic Saint and no mention of any sort of Jesus, prayers..
@@gygye Disclosure: As I've implied in my post, I've not watched the movie because I didn't want to feel that disappointment that's sure to come. But I've read enough reviews, and yes, a 'more "feminist"' pov is another of those critiques about it.
@@cathy2465 It seems gone are the days of movies like The Reluctant Saint, The Song of Bernadette, and the Miracle of our Lady of Fatima that were unapologetically Catholic. It's very disappointing that this movie (Cabrini) is coming from Angel Studios, which made the excellent Sound of Freedom.
It’s the first time I watch, tears already fall down from my both eyes. It captures my heart to deeply. The message is so intense I cannot sustain… Is it still showing in cinemas this times?
It was a good movie but it was secularized. Never once did I see Sister Cabrini in prayer. Many people donot know how to pray. This was shining a light on a powerful woman. Thefailed to show that power was from God.
My daughter went to see this movie and agrees with two other critiques that said the storytellers had know idea where the power to accomplish "good deeds" comes from? A Catholic "Sevant" of God does so through the power of PRAYER! Prayer is sustainable engine that empowers women or men in the extraordinary work in Christ's service. The Holy Mass, celebrating the Eucharist was also absent from the story? These are two serious deficiencies Catholics would find strangely absent from this remarkable story. PT
Really? No Prayer? One can pray in meditative thoughts and reflection as she did throughout the movie. She referenced several persona from the Bible to make her points. No one needs to always fall onto their knees to have real conversations with God.
What movie were so many of these people watching? It was imbued with God's power from start to finish. Cabrini constantly let God work through her actions.
I’m 77 - my Mom was born in 1915 in Brooklyn New York - her cousin, Vincent’s Mom was told by Mother Cabrini that her baby (Vinnie) would have a problem walking if he was born at home . He was born at home and had one leg shorter than the other and had to wear a brace as a child and had a bad limp for the rest of his life. She was a wonderful woman
Such a great movie ❤️ Thank you Angel Studios!! It was so well produced and it really is a beautiful work of art. I think even the great Renaissance painters would be impressed!
I posted my full review of the film, myself. Coming from a first generation Italian-American, in entertainment (I’ve auditioned for a few of your projects), and a catholic. Great film. More like this.
I was born at mother Cabrini hospital in manhattan, and when my mother passed . She went to potters field . Was also raised in an orphanage for a while.
This movie was amazing🥰 & to be honest the last time I went to go see a movie more than once I believe was Titanic and I’m ready to go see it this again🙏🏽
I couldn’t feel more different from the criticisms that say there is a lack of “Jesus” or “God” in this biopic. For me, seeing the work of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini is more than enough of a show of such things including the fact that she is a nun, I don’t think it has to be more spelled out personally ❤️
It is a great film. Regret that moments of solitude such as looking out the window could have been dramatic prayer. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is never stated even when Mother Cabrini is forming a wonderful relationship[ with the prostitute who is reforming her life. She was noted for her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and her love for the poor. Frances Cabrini became the first American Saint for these two reasons plus the miracles. Pope Leo found his perfect weapon to battle Satan and sent her to America!
The spiritual fortitude of Mother Cabrini and with the grace of God turning a "no" into a "yes" in the patriarchal structures of the early 1900's was a great message of Christian feminism then and now. Hope you see it everyone. The Italian Community's contribution to tell an important story of the immigrants realities and the power of a community working together is affirming for us today ❤
Dear Friends, Great music, atmospheric, handsome camera work, lovely and good actors, etc. I got lost though, a nun says, 'we must trust in ourselves'? This is a nun. So no mention of trusting in God and of having sought God's wish and will and attributing to God our strength and purpose in following God's lead, in having been provided for to achieve what has been laid out to do by God, none of that in the opening scenes? So far this is presented as good works of people unaided by a higher force, and has become silly to me if extremely well done. Thank you for sharing this clip. I appreciate that. Sincerely, V
It was very prescient of the Holy Father to send Mother Cabrini to NY at that time, where the ripple effect of her work and her status in the Church were profound. If she had gone to China, her work would have been cut short with the advent of communism, where the scourge of atheism dominates until this day. This movie will touch millions and perhaps lead to thousands of converts. Grazie, Angel Studios!
I went to see it last night... I loved the movie. BUT at the end I thought her comment was too feminist.... I'd have never pictured I humbled woman of God being so proud, the end did not reflect the great faith in God and endurance that it took to accomplished what she did. She never gave God the glory of the miracle of her life. This is how she looked to me at the end. I also noticed, even though she is a nun. has the cross around her neck, the Pope is in the movie, she never mentioned her gratitude to God., never prayed, she never invited others to come unto Christ. I very much doubt the real Caprini was an ungrateful to God, arrogant woman full of pride. I think the director wants an Oscar and decided Hollywood would probably appreciate a feminist immigrant that never mentions God.
“humility,” in the bible is often misunderstood. The literal definition of "Anavah" in Hebrew means to occupy your God-given space in the world-to not overestimate yourself or your abilities, but to not underestimate them. This is not a Catholic film, it was intentionally made to not be religious or preachy. The producer intentionally planned to tell Cabrini's story in a way that honored her and yet make her accessible to anyone including a Protestant, Jew, Hindu, Muslim or non-religious person. Sometimes it is better to just give people enough to make them want more, some will want to know her story, read a book, watch a documentary or find one of the shrines or museums. 1890s women couldn't vote She was the ultimate underdog as a tiny woman, catholic, nun, an Italian and DYING. She was not arrogant...She was determined, resilient, and motivated by her convictions, She also knew her times short away. This is how God made her, it is her divine DNA to carry out the calling he placed before her. What the film does show is the life being and answer to prayer. She lived as the hands and feet of God. How many people talk but don't walk. They go to church but their life is about themselves and a mess. They did insert a few moments of her faith, like when she told her nuns before she left for Rome, "They can do all things in Him", which is Cabribi's life verse Phil 4:13 If she had not been determined to not take no for an answer, her heavenly mandate would have died with her, not to mention how many other souls. This takes courage, to fight the good fight of faith until every door that was once closed opens. That is what this film tried to display, she as a woman in 1890 was an overcomer, she revolutionized hospitals, schools, and orphanages globally. As I said before, the curious will seek her out and find the greater depths of a women they probably never would have before.
I read her life story from a book my parents had from long ago. In her Bio, all she did was pray to God for everything she needed to get done. She trusted her life and works to God, too bad they did not add this in the movie.. She loved Jesus so much she did everything for Him. She even called Jesus her spouse, all she did was for Him.
18:40 - "... and give the abandoned children the love they so badly need." ---- Some complain about the absence of religiosity in the film. Some mistakenly label her work as "social justice." But love and justice are hardly the same thing. Love is not duty; it is grace. Giving consistent love to an orphan is as Christian as it gets.
This was easily one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen! Can't wait for Bonhoeffer! There's so many more amazing stories in Christian history, and I hope they make actual good movied out of all of them. Hollywood always butchers them, by satanically going out of its way to rewrite history just to throw mud in the eye of Christians. It's despicable and so obvious. I'd love to see some really well made historical dramas about the early church fathers, and also a lot of the history of the medieval period. What would be really amazing would be an epic series that follows church history all the way from the book of Acts to the modern era. Like 20 seasons, just keep going! People would definitely fund that.
This is amazing work. After "The Sound of Freedom" Angel Studios present us with this true amazing story beautifully shot. Incredible. Keep up the good work. May I suggest "Saint Isabel of Aragon" (1271 - 1325) for the next movie?
A movie about a Catholic saint and Jesus Christ isn't mentioned one time... She wasn't some empowered social justice worker, she was a devout Catholic with devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus. This film completely gutted her faith, the source of all her strength and grace.
You did not see the entire movie. The ending commentary states she was canonized. The film shows a nun. All nuns pray actual prayers and became nuns due to their faith in God and Jesus. The Sisters of St Joseph taught us that work is prayer, when it is dedicated to serving others. The film shows a nun, dedicated to serving the poor, abandoned and marginalized outcasts of a cruel and heartless society. Mother Cabrini made people who were made to feel worthless into valued children of God. Her work was her prayers. Of course, she prayed as all nuns pray, but you don't have to go to a movie to see that. If you want to see people pray, just go to church.

I read that 1 in 10 American Catholics are former Protestants, and that number continues to grow. Historic.
you changed from an illogical religion to a more illogical and more idolatrous one

I agree with the above writer. I missed the strong God connection that must have been evident in St. Francis Cabrini’s life to fortify her always.
That's probably because Angel Studios is run by protestants.
Exactly
Without God's Grace, Mother Cabrini would not have been able to accomplish her good works of Mercy. Praise God!
I just saw it this evening, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The actress was wonderful, and the film delivered many powerful insights about perseverance, assertiveness vs. obedience, women in the Church and in the world, the plight of immigrants, poverty and sexual violence, hypocrisy, sexism... I could go on and on. Some say it didn't show enough of the sisters' prayer life. I would have liked to see that, but it did touch on it; the message the film ended up with was more universal.
AN INSTANT CLASSIC FROM START TO FINISH!!!
This was an amazing movie!!!!! Academy award worthy for sure!
Wow!!!! GRANDIOSA!!! en solo 20 minutos me ha inspirado! Ya quiero verla!!!!!!! Grande Alejandro Monteverde!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Gracias a todos los que han hecho posible que la historia y el legado de la Madre Santa Francesca Cabrini llegue a todo el mundo e inspire a millones de corazones ! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🙏🎞️🎥
My brother took me to visit Mother Cabrini’s shrine in Golden, Colorado.
This movie was incredible. Cannot recommend it enough to everyone!
Thank you for making films about people who matter...who made a difference in their world...who changed their world for the better...real life superheros...saints...dts/usa
Only by the power of God. Who they conveniently left out of the conversation.
Amazing, Thank you for a work of art, I cried with love for the film Conoleta, thank you for bringing us the holy mother Cabrini, Thank you for this legacy to Catholicism, thank you for this gift of love, I will continue to fill movie theaters, I am the owner of Epi3 and I support totally this magnificent work, thank you very much, in thanks we will give a special mass at the Mother Cabrini temple in NY, my second home of the heart ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💖 💙 ❤️ ❤😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's not about women, it's about the grace of Jesus Christ working through her life... she would be scandalized by it if this movie is about her
Watch the EWTN movie about her on Gloria's TH-cam channel. It has a much more accurate description of her.
Of course it's about the woman.
@@ikkespillendekarakter3924 cringe
God speaks through all.
@@abelovedchildofgod7383 Yes you are.
❤❤❤2016. I was working in Mishawaka indiana and visited Norte dam library, I remember seeing a small exhibit of Cabrini. I saw all her work and how she started the orphanage and did so much. It was. Like another Tesla story. This movie did a great job. Thank you. Frank Martinez Downey California
I lived on Cabrini Blvd. In NYC. I went to the Church where St. Cabrini's body is entombed. It was an experience to sit in that chapel looking at her through a thick glass case. Many did not know of her. Now they certainly will. Bless her and her son!❤
🌹🙏Excellent comment!!❤yet as we speak now of her & her work for Christ & w/ the many religious groups now working in NY, the Crimes against children are Horrendous, yet no religious people step foward. WHAT crippling, & suffocating FORCE is choking off religious energy thta is needed to work for Christ????Praying & wondering.🙏✝️😇🌹
Angels studios need to put more focus on the strength of the woman because of her love for JESUS CHRIST. They failed in this aspect.
Yes Yes Of Course Woman All Good And Pure. Ppfffftttt !!?
It's strange there doesn't seem to be one scene where she is shown praying to God.
They wanted to attract more than just catholics, brilliant! If she's praying constantly, others will not attend. Great movie!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@petelee9887pete...I'm sorry I'm catholic, pure and holy, is a small advantage of being Catholic, blessings are incredibly abundant. Anyone may be Catholic, it's really not that easy, try it.
Who said she would be praying constantly in the movie. There's not one scene of prayer. It's just an observation and it seems strange to me. It is a great movie, I absolutely love it.@@monnieholmes7113
This was one of the most cinematically breathtaking movies I have ever seen. It took my breath away!
PHENOMENAL TRUE STORY...BRILLANTLY ACTED...at a drop of a hat I would gladly watch it AGAIN and AGAIN.. "A RARE GEM!"
Wow the acting is surprisingly good. I also must say, I love the Italian language. The way it rolls off the tongue is pleasing to my ears
Mother Cabrini would be proud.
Yes...truly beautiful how The LORD uses a humble, available vessel. Amen.
All for His Glory.
I worked 4 years as security at the Cabrini Medical Tower in Seattle, WA. I learned that she had her real estate broker get the property far less than what it was worth and then paid his commission in Rosary Beads.😁
I cried many times during this film yesterday. a MUST SEE in the cinema..
Thank you for your effort. God bless you all involved in the project.
I'm in tears! I want to see the complete movie!!!
Kudos to Angel Studios for doing films like this. But. Many reviewers are correct in asking, "Where's Jesus?" How can you have a movie about a saint that's devoid of any mention or even whisper of Jesus's name or any explicit reference to God?
Why the fear to mention "Jesus" when He was who she was all about, who she was really serving. When people go to watch a movie about a saint, they expect to hear very overt religious themes and references so to exclude these is not only disappointing but also a lost opportunity to evangelize.
I watched the trailer movie above and I had the same feelings: we don't see her praying or naming the name of God, and while visiting the Holy Father in Rome, she did not seem at all humble in front of him.. To me, it's more '' feminist'' point on view in producing this movie. Sorry, I will certainly not watch this movie , movie that is supposed to represent a Catholic Saint and no mention of any sort of Jesus, prayers..
Exactly. It seems Angel Studios is worried about offending people by mentioning God or Christ. Wow.
@@gygye Disclosure: As I've implied in my post, I've not watched the movie because I didn't want to feel that disappointment that's sure to come. But I've read enough reviews, and yes, a 'more "feminist"' pov is another of those critiques about it.
@@cathy2465 It seems gone are the days of movies like The Reluctant Saint, The Song of Bernadette, and the Miracle of our Lady of Fatima that were unapologetically Catholic.
It's very disappointing that this movie (Cabrini) is coming from Angel Studios, which made the excellent Sound of Freedom.
It’s the first time I watch, tears already fall down from my both eyes. It captures my heart to deeply. The message is so intense I cannot sustain…
Is it still showing in cinemas this times?
Thank you for this preview. Looks like a great inspirational story.
It really is a good movie.
Saw it last night and loved it!
It was a good movie but it was secularized. Never once did I see Sister Cabrini in prayer.
Many people donot know how to pray. This was shining a light on a powerful woman. Thefailed to show that power was from God.
My daughter went to see this movie and agrees with two other critiques that said the storytellers had know idea where the power to accomplish "good deeds" comes from? A Catholic "Sevant" of God does so through the power of PRAYER!
Prayer is sustainable engine that empowers women or men in the extraordinary work in Christ's service.
The Holy Mass, celebrating the Eucharist was also absent from the story?
These are two serious deficiencies Catholics would find strangely absent from this remarkable story.
PT
Really? No Prayer? One can pray in meditative thoughts and reflection as she did throughout the movie. She referenced several persona from the Bible to make her points. No one needs to always fall onto their knees to have real conversations with God.
What movie were so many of these people watching? It was imbued with God's power from start to finish. Cabrini constantly let God work through her actions.
Her entire life was a prayer.
Prayers happen in silence and crying too and she did have moments of prayers
I’m 77 - my Mom was born in 1915 in Brooklyn New York - her cousin, Vincent’s Mom was told by Mother Cabrini that her baby (Vinnie) would have a problem walking if he was born at home . He was born at home and had one leg shorter than the other and had to wear a brace as a child and had a bad limp for the rest of his life. She was a wonderful woman
Such a great movie ❤️ Thank you Angel Studios!! It was so well produced and it really is a beautiful work of art. I think even the great Renaissance painters would be impressed!
I posted my full review of the film, myself. Coming from a first generation Italian-American, in entertainment (I’ve auditioned for a few of your projects), and a catholic. Great film. More like this.
I was born at mother Cabrini hospital in manhattan, and when my mother passed . She went to potters field . Was also raised in an orphanage for a while.
God Bless you 🧡
This movie was amazing🥰 & to be honest the last time I went to go see a movie more than once I believe was Titanic and I’m ready to go see it this again🙏🏽
I couldn’t feel more different from the criticisms that say there is a lack of “Jesus” or “God” in this biopic. For me, seeing the work of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini is more than enough of a show of such things including the fact that she is a nun, I don’t think it has to be more spelled out personally ❤️
This was an amazing historic moment in our country she brought this country together
Gracias por mandar este pedacito. Ojalá manden el resto. Vivo en Dinamarca y no creo que aquí den esta película.
this looks wonderful!!! I can't wait to see all of it!! Thank you for creating such a wonderful movie about St. Cabrini!!
It is a great film. Regret that moments of solitude such as looking out the window could have been dramatic prayer. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is never stated even when Mother Cabrini is forming a wonderful relationship[ with the prostitute who is reforming her life. She was noted for her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and her love for the poor. Frances Cabrini became the first American Saint for these two reasons plus the miracles. Pope Leo found his perfect weapon to battle Satan and sent her to America!
Wow, I've got goosebumps. I think it's playing at my local theatre. I'll check it out.
she must have felt a certain urgency in her mission, a calling. common trait amongst saints. i look forward to seeing this further.
A great and inspiring movie , to God be the Glory
I have seen it 5 times, with one to go on Sunday! It’s a masterpiece!
Beautiful cinematography. Just one tiny edit. True saints never trusted in themselves...they only trusted God:+) God bless~
The spiritual fortitude of Mother Cabrini and with the grace of God turning a "no" into a "yes" in the patriarchal structures of the early 1900's was a great message of Christian feminism then and now. Hope you see it everyone. The Italian Community's contribution to tell an important story of the immigrants realities and the power of a community working together is affirming for us today ❤
I'm disabled and unable to see this in theaters. I'm hoping it will stream or be sold on DVD soon! Can't wait to see it!
This was so refreshing and a pleasure to watch.
This was such a great movie ♥️
This segment was amazing. I will definitely see the movie. We can all do some good wherever we are. Bloom where you are planted.
How is it that these days Disney, with 100's of millions of dollars, can't make a movie as good as this low-budget flick?
Dear Friends, Great music, atmospheric, handsome camera work, lovely and good actors, etc. I got lost though, a nun says, 'we must trust in ourselves'? This is a nun. So no mention of trusting in God and of having sought God's wish and will and attributing to God our strength and purpose in following God's lead, in having been provided for to achieve what has been laid out to do by God, none of that in the opening scenes? So far this is presented as good works of people unaided by a higher force, and has become silly to me if extremely well done. Thank you for sharing this clip. I appreciate that. Sincerely, V
This was an absolutely fantastic movie.
It was very prescient of the Holy Father to send Mother Cabrini to NY at that time, where the ripple effect of her work and her status in the Church were profound. If she had gone to China, her work would have been cut short with the advent of communism, where the scourge of atheism dominates until this day. This movie will touch millions and perhaps lead to thousands of converts.
Grazie, Angel Studios!
I went to see it last night... I loved the movie. BUT at the end I thought her comment was too feminist.... I'd have never pictured I humbled woman of God being so proud, the end did not reflect the great faith in God and endurance that it took to accomplished what she did. She never gave God the glory of the miracle of her life. This is how she looked to me at the end. I also noticed, even though she is a nun. has the cross around her neck, the Pope is in the movie, she never mentioned her gratitude to God., never prayed, she never invited others to come unto Christ. I very much doubt the real Caprini was an ungrateful to God, arrogant woman full of pride. I think the director wants an Oscar and decided Hollywood would probably appreciate a feminist immigrant that never mentions God.
“humility,” in the bible is often misunderstood. The literal definition of "Anavah" in Hebrew means to occupy your God-given space in the world-to not overestimate yourself or your abilities, but to not underestimate them.
This is not a Catholic film, it was intentionally made to not be religious or preachy. The producer intentionally planned to tell Cabrini's story in a way that honored her and yet make her accessible to anyone including a Protestant, Jew, Hindu, Muslim or non-religious person. Sometimes it is better to just give people enough to make them want more, some will want to know her story, read a book, watch a documentary or find one of the shrines or museums.
1890s women couldn't vote She was the ultimate underdog as a tiny woman, catholic, nun, an Italian and DYING.
She was not arrogant...She was determined, resilient, and motivated by her convictions, She also knew her times short away. This is how God made her, it is her divine DNA to carry out the calling he placed before her.
What the film does show is the life being and answer to prayer. She lived as the hands and feet of God. How many people talk but don't walk. They go to church but their life is about themselves and a mess. They did insert a few moments of her faith, like when she told her nuns before she left for Rome, "They can do all things in Him", which is Cabribi's life verse Phil 4:13 If she had not been determined to not take no for an answer, her heavenly mandate would have died with her, not to mention how many other souls. This takes courage, to fight the good fight of faith until every door that was once closed opens.
That is what this film tried to display, she as a woman in 1890 was an overcomer, she revolutionized hospitals, schools, and orphanages globally. As I said before, the curious will seek her out and find the greater depths of a women they probably never would have before.
I read her life story from a book my parents had from long ago. In her Bio, all she did was pray to God for everything she needed to get done. She trusted her life and works to God, too bad they did not add this in the movie.. She loved Jesus so much she did everything for Him. She even called Jesus her spouse, all she did was for Him.
@@DD-hy1nl I had no doubt she loved Jesus and prayed continually to the God she served, Thanks for your response. Great woman of God.
Bravo😊!!!
@@The_SeoulJourner Wonderfully observant and well- expressed (except for some typos). Thank you!
I love this movie with my heart❤
brillant! I love it!
Well done. A very touching story of faith and perseverance. Blessings❤
I went to a Cabrini school in Seattle. I remember and honor the sisters in full habit then, late 1960's.
Reading the Bible and praying are not enough; we must go out into the world and lend a helping hand. Mother Cabrini has done just that.
Best ♥️true story, ever!
Very uplifting story. A lesson in fighting for those who have no voice
We don't go to the movies often. There is not too much worth watching at the theaters any more. But this was a very good movie.
18:40 - "... and give the abandoned children the love they so badly need." ---- Some complain about the absence of religiosity in the film. Some mistakenly label her work as "social justice." But love and justice are hardly the same thing. Love is not duty; it is grace. Giving consistent love to an orphan is as Christian as it gets.
I loved this movie so much.
I'm from overseas, how do I see the movie online? It seems well made and the few minutes are not enough! :)
Just LOVE the higher Creation as God's LOVE and all ill dissapeared
Best movie I’ve ever seen
Same❤
Beautiful ❤heart touching❤portrayal of the saint🙏
God bless Angel studios.
Bellissimo!
When will it be released in Italy?
This was easily one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen!
Can't wait for Bonhoeffer!
There's so many more amazing stories in Christian history, and I hope they make actual good movied out of all of them. Hollywood always butchers them, by satanically going out of its way to rewrite history just to throw mud in the eye of Christians. It's despicable and so obvious. I'd love to see some really well made historical dramas about the early church fathers, and also a lot of the history of the medieval period.
What would be really amazing would be an epic series that follows church history all the way from the book of Acts to the modern era. Like 20 seasons, just keep going! People would definitely fund that.
This is amazing work. After "The Sound of Freedom" Angel Studios present us with this true amazing story beautifully shot. Incredible. Keep up the good work. May I suggest "Saint Isabel of Aragon" (1271 - 1325) for the next movie?
“From now on we speak English” 😂
I saw the movie. It's a MUST to see! Very well done!
Continue the good work!!
A movie about a Catholic saint and Jesus Christ isn't mentioned one time... She wasn't some empowered social justice worker, she was a devout Catholic with devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus. This film completely gutted her faith, the source of all her strength and grace.
You did not see the entire movie. The ending commentary states she was canonized. The film shows a nun. All nuns pray actual prayers and became nuns due to their faith in God and Jesus. The Sisters of St Joseph taught us that work is prayer, when it is dedicated to serving others. The film shows a nun, dedicated to serving the poor, abandoned and marginalized outcasts of a cruel and heartless society. Mother Cabrini made people who were made to feel worthless into valued children of God.
Her work was her prayers. Of course, she prayed as all nuns pray, but you don't have to go to a movie to see that. If you want to see people pray, just go to church.
It did not gut her faith.. it illuminated her faith in Christ…
Amazing movie ❤
Please bring this movie in Italy! I can't wait to see it!
Such a beautiful saint.
