Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

GeoPierpont Thought I knew a lot about Mother Teresa and was ready to skip to next program when I heard "The Voice". Unchanged in over 45 years and unnerving: Lady Julietta by ear, but Mother Teresa by sight. Once again, she presents a near perfect rendition of a famous character with mannerisms and heartfelt simpatico within her sacred community.I was unaware of the political infighting to promote her 'brand' with the Church and her adamant refusal to cooperate. The controversy over her policy of no condom use in HIV affected regions created serious concerns for supporting her canonization and saintly elevation. However, one is hard pressed to overlook her many passions to elevate the conditions of the impoverished, if only to remind them, they are not forgotten.High recommend for Oliva fans, Christians and non-alike, Mother Teresa, her Sisters and bringing Hope alive!

Desertman84 Madre Teresa is a biographical TV movie based on the life of Mother Teresa,the founder of the Missionaries of Charity religious institute. The film stars Olivia Hussey in the title role.It was directed by Fabrizio Costa.A widely revered champion of the forgotten and starving masses, Mother Teresa had a combination of shrewd diplomatic skills and unwavering devotion to the power of hope that earned her the love and respect of world and, eventually, the Nobel Peace Prize. This tale of a modern-day saint comes home to inspire viewers of all faiths and backgrounds to follow their dreams of making the world a better place.Also,it shows how the determination of just one individual can make an entire world of difference.And probably,it also has the ability to inspire to do good thing for the betterment of the world and change one's life.

lyricsislife This film is so fantastic. Olivia's portrayal is outstanding! She plays it in such a real unaffected way, really a masterful performance! The film's two most beautiful characteristics, in my opinion, are that it's not a big-budget Hollywood film. It's simple, straightforward and inspiring: which in my opinion is, the way Mother Teresa would have wanted it. And, even though you think it won't, it has this internal power to make you weep when you look around and see the state of the world, and if there were only more people like this in the world, it would be a much better place. See this film. I guarantee you it will inspire you to be a better person.

roac-1 Olivia Hussey has done a great job portraying Mother Teresa in this biopic. Her voice and mannerisms match those that Mother Teresa had. The production values are top notch. The DVD looks excellent on HDTV and the sound track is well scored. Though it wasn't actually filmed in Calcutta - the Shri Lankan locations used have a similar feel and atmosphere. The story focuses on Mother Teresa's struggle with the church leadership to move out to work with the poorest of the poor. A first for a nun - in a city like Calcutta. It deals with her motivation, not in a preachy way. I was moved to tears a couple of times while watching ... felt that the production as a whole was powerful and moving.
