Title: Good acting, but the story is changed
Review: I was disappointed to find that they made this movie into a love story, portraying Rita as a woman who always wanted to get married and not join a religious order. There is even one part in the movie where she says something about religious life not being for her because she wants a family. And yet, this is what catholic.org says of her life:"She was born in Roccaporena, near Spoleto, Italy, in 1381, and expressed from an early age the desire to become a nun. Her elderly parents insisted that she be married at the age of twelve to a man described in accounts of her life as cruel and harsh. She spent eighteen extremely unhappy years, had two sons, and was finally widowed when her husband was killed in a brawl"Nevertheless, she is portrayed as falling madly in love with Paolo and working very hard to get approval to marry him. Not a good portrayal of what she went through in her life's desires and marriage, in my opinion.
Is the review positive or negative?
