Title: Soporific hagiography ;torpour inducing
Review: Sister Elizabeth Kenny was ,beyond question,a remarkable woman.Her pioneering treatments for polio victims were eventually hailed all over the world and her triumph was achieved in the face of often implacable resistance from the medical establishment in her native Australia and elsewhere.It is an inspiring story about a redoubtable womanThis is not alas a movie that does either her or her achievements justice.It is too slow,the tone is over reverential and the acting is just plain bad.Lighting is dull and unimaginative and pacing funerealThe story is there on screen but presented in so flat and unimaginative a way that audiences will most probably cease to care long before it crawls its way to a climax that is leaden rather than inspirationalMisfiring tribute to an exceptional person but hopefully the movie will inspire some to read about the woman and if so it will have served a useful purpose
