If you have not seen it nor heard about it, GO SEE THE FLIPPIN’ (kudos to Jaime and Kelly) MOVIE!!!!!
It really is a great movie.

I hope it’s good, and not a so-so movie-Barb Nicolosi from Act One (and the blog “Church of the Masses”) comments “I hope Therese is a great film. Although, several people who have seen it have basically kind of shrugged, “Really devout catholics will probably like it.” “

I hope, too, that it is good art and not just a so-so movie about a good Catholic.
THERESE is not even a so-so movie about a good Catholic. THERESE is a very bad movie. And it comes up so short in the basic cinematic ABCs—it is badly shot, badly lit, badly scored, often badly acted, and often badly written—that a rational world would consider the fact that THERESE is about a great saint a matter to hold against it—“St. Therese of Lisieux deserves better,” basically. Sainthood is not imputed through the camera lens, so the fact THERESE is about a saint is of no consequence in judging it as a film.
Also playing at BOTH of those theatres, opening the same night, will be Celsius 41.11, a movie about propaganda artist Michael Moore.
