Not since 'The Mission", not in 25 years has there been a movie like this. A true story of FORGIVENESS given under the most dire circumstances. War. Passion. Faith. Cruelty and Murder. This movie is epic, and unforgettable. Thank you to all concerned: the excellent ! actors, photographers, the superb writing and direction. Thank you for such a movie!

This movie may appear to be sombre in its deep dive in human condition. If you are unable to move above the ambient cynicism of our time you run the risk of missing the point. You will not be able to understand what true love is and that no matter how desperate our circumstances, God never gives up on us . Very interesting and balanced assessment of the spanish civil war. A very touching and accurate depiction of a true life Saint.

Well worth waiting for! Excellent- 10 out 0f 10.

Wow. Roland Joffe dared to create a movie about an amazing man, Jose Maria Escriva. I saw one of the pre-screening shows and was so impressed with his handling the story of a current day saint and how he uses themes of grief,forgiveness and other life struggles in horrible wartime scenes. We are challenged to internalize these themes in the context of the Spanish Civil War. Mr. Joffe. I am excited to see the final version.

The story is filled with meaning, so it requires thoughtful attention. It can change lives! Our world needs more love and forgiveness. It's worth watching several times, to grasp the depth of the message. Thank you to Roland Joffe for daring to do it!
