A superb bio-pic about a real American heroine and Saint. An incredible and inspirational true story of a truly amazing woman! Mother Cabrini is a legend and this film tells of her struggles and triumphs in such a beautiful, inspiring, and compelling way! If you’re looking for some inspiration on how to make a positive difference in this world, go see this movie. With superb acting and every detail attended to to put you right there with Cabrini on her journey. As always, the acting makes the difference: Besides Dell’Anna’s award-worthy interpretation of the diminutive “entrepreneur,” David Morse’s archbishop is imperious and difficult, matched growl for growl by John Lithgow’s intractable mayor. Senior to them is the impressive Giancarlo Giannini as Pope Leo XIII, who assigns the NYC slums to Cabrini’s future as the eventual patron saint of immigrants. A lean and effective story by Monteverde and Rod Barr aided immensely by the creative editing of Brian Scofield. Don’t miss it.
