Negative Positive
Title: One sided
Review: I found this movie rather maudlin and over done. Many of the historical "facts" are "fiction" as many other reviewers have already stated.It is true that in the America of the 1840s (and before and after) there was wide spread anti-Catholicism. But Mr. Riley could go to any city in the United States and find an RC church and worship as he pleased. How many Protestant churches I wonder did he see in Mexico? Did he know that American emigrants to Texas were required by Mexican law to convert? Some of my ancestors were Huguenots. Irish Catholic "martyrs" should read what the "tolerant" French Catholics did after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes before they go blathering about their own experience.
Is the review positive or negative?
