Cabrini

Cabrini is a step up from other faith based movies in terms of it's visual presentation. This movie had pretty good production design and cinematography. This movie also has some good performances. Aside from that however, this movie was boring. You never really get to know the main character, by the end of the movie it feels like nothing has happened. Most characters in general were written as archtypes. The movie was structured in a way that was very formulaic. I get that it's based on a true story, but they should have told the story in a more original way. Overall the story is poorly written and boring. There are a lot of lines in this movie that are parody level bad. It also shoves the message down your throat and doesn't let you pick up on anything. The score sounded like royalty free music. This movie goes on for too long, I desperately wanted it to end after the two hour mark. I didn't hate this movie, but I don't think I'll ever watch it again. Comparing it to the Godfather is a joke.

Based on the true striy about Mother Cabrini making italian orphanages, Cabrini felt very informative but in my opinion lacked inspiration. Cabrini left me feeling very informed afterwards but I didn't feel inspired or awestruck contrary to thr glowing reviews its been getting. The execution of this movie in my opinion wasnt the best and it felt very dry. Nonetheless I still give this a 71 because of what Mother Cabrini did and how she sacrificed her life for the betterment of Italian children. Overall this movie definitely could've reached amazing levels if they had just added a little spark to it.

A slow but good historical documentary on the life of Cabrini.

Cabrini is about an Italian nun that upgrades her Town Hall to house poor street kids. The story is interesting but very slow.
