Title: An Insult to St. Therese
Review: I threw this movie in the trash after watching it and felt guilty for having given any time to it at all. It is a repulsive attack on the life of this holy woman. She is shown as mentally ill and secretly hating her Catholic faith. there is a scene where she drops a crucifix, steps on it and intentionally drags it along the floor under her foot...the directors attempt to somehow suggest her disrespect for Christ. There are many disturbing scenes which are based on the sick, anti-Catholic imagination of the director and not at all on any facts about St. Theresa's life. The only person who could enjoy such a film would have to have a similar hatred for Catholicism and be fond of these creepy, repulsive, so-called artsy movies. It taught me to do my research before buying a movie that I think might be edifying!
Is the review positive or negative?
