Providing care, comfort and compassion to the world’s downtrodden is undoubtedly a noble, if exhausting and often-frustrating, cause, especially when pleas for help go ignored or fall on deaf ears. Yet, every so often, someone comes along who tirelessly keeps on fighting for those less fortunate, as was the case with Italian immigrant Mother Francesca Cabrini (Cristiana Dell’Anna). Upon her arrival in New York in 1889, the diminutive but zealous nun from Lombardy set about her work to care for her fellow countrymen and women (especially orphaned and abandoned children) in desperate need of food, housing and medical care, the first charitable undertaking of what she envisioned becoming a worldwide network of such ventures. She successfully raised awareness of the plight of these emigrees by getting the attention of a New York Times reporter (Jeremy Bobb), an endeavor that garnered support for her efforts and challenged the prejudicial attitudes of the public and New York’s municipal government, including its bigoted, intolerant mayor (John Lithgow). And, through it all, she wrestled with personal health issues that hung over her for many years. Writer-director Alejandro Monteverde’s latest presents a detailed, well-told biography of a woman who wouldn’t give up at a time when the deck was stacked against her, both on the bases of her gender and nationality, as well as (in some cases) as a representative of the Church. The picture’s superb production design, fine period piece production values and gorgeous cinematography lend much to this release, as do the performances of Dell’Anna and Lithgow, along with a host of supporting characters. Despite these strengths, though, this slightly overlong offering has occasional problems with pacing, monodimensional character development, overdramatic elements (particularly in the soundtrack) and an underdeveloped back story. At the same time, however, “Cabrini” tells an inspiring and uplifting tale of someone who accomplished a lot but hasn’t really received the attention she’s due. This film helps to make up for that oversight while reminding us all that we can play a part in fulfilling her dream of genuinely creating an empire of hope for the world.
A cracking movie!I can’t say I was expecting much from ‘Cabrini’, given I hadn’t heard anything about it online or in real life – no trailers or anything of ilk. I was also alone in the cinema, which is pleasing personally but is possibly a bad sign for a movie. In actuality, though, it’s a great production! Supremely acted, astutely paced, some awesome visuals and a strong score.
The cinematography really is excellent, I lost count the amount of times I thought to myself “What a shot that is!”. As for the acting, Cristiana Dell’Anna puts in a terrific lead performance – it’s naturally, given I’ve only seen one or two Italian flicks, the first time I’ve seen her in anything, here’s hoping she appears more in what I watch. Giancarlo Giannini also stood out to me. Good to see John Lithgow and David Morse, too.
A really nicely told (true!) story. The ~2hrs 20min run time truly flew by. I highly recommend checking this one out if you get the opportunity!
How Did I Not Know This Story!?
Mother Cabrini is a legend and I’m shocked that I had never heard her story before! This movie tells of her struggles and triumphs in such a beautiful, inspiring, and compelling way!After watching I not only wanted to research more about what she did in her life, but also the area of Five Points in New York City. Historically I felt enriched, but also I felt an overwhelming empathy for my fellow man and the struggles people are going through. Cabrini helped orphans and immigrants with nothing more than faith, believing the resources would come. I felt so uplifted and inspired to do more, no matter how much I can offer, it is enough!
Total girl power with faith in God. Perfect pairing!
A poor portrait of an remarkable woman
This is a film about a astonishing, remarkable, marvelous woman – but poorly represented.Every saint deals with needs other people, but not only that. The Saint is not a social worker, she/he is so much, much more than that, and none of that is represented in this unfortunate, failed portrayal of a great woman.
She is represented almost as a rebel (against the church), and she was not. She was represented as barely obedient to the church – also very untrue.
She never prayed once in the entire movie. You watch her and you don’t feel her peace or God’s love working through her, you just feel anger towards other people – which is imposible in Saints.
The story is not inspiring you to be a God’s worker and God’s peacemaker – but a revolutionary against other people.
Total, total miss. Unfortunately… This is not a Christian movie, it did us no favour. Someone else should’ve filmed it. Look at “A Man for all Season”, or “Ghandi”, you would experience completely other feelings. They move you, and the inspire you to be peacefully and actively good (not rebeling).
