Title: Unusual...Dark...Uninspirational
Review: The setting of this film was entirely on stage and thoroughly cinematic with a sense of darkness and lack of joy all throughout. It's not that the characters didn't express joy, it's just that I couldn't feel their joy from the way they expressed it. I found it to be at the utmost unusual, not in the least bit inspirational, and even scary to watch. I haven't read "Story of a Soul" (St. Therese's autobiography) but know about St. Therese's "little way". If I were to rely on this film alone, I would certainly have a misconstrued understanding.I've watched other films on saints, including "Bernadette", "The Passion of Bernadette", and "St. Teresa of the Andes", and found these films to be so much more inspirational.
