I really enjoy when NR dips its toe into film criticism. I think it was Maddie and Rich who had a discussion on The Editors about (I think) The Killers of the Flower Moon. More of that, please.

Thank you Maddie. For a while I thought I was the only one who walked away from the film wondering: "Why, not once, did I not hear the name of Jesus?" I agree - the film makers made a secularized version of Mother Cabrini and missed a massive opportunity. Too much feminism and just a whiff of Christianity. Nevertheless - as a film, it was beautifully crafted, but for the God-shaped holes in the screenplay.

Great review!!!

Very good. Thanks.

Love the Irish accent. Saw the movie. Agree with the points, but it was well directed. Sometimes though, it's actually better to make an imperfect movie.

The accent may be Scots.

She's Scottish.

I agree with everything you stated. I wanted more trust and confidence in the Lord conveyed.

Appreciate your review. "Trust in ourselves" and "Not enough water to make me clean" are as you say huge missed opportunities, really falsifying what what any religious Catholic would have said. I believe though that in Catholic doctrine, for mortal sins confession does NOT restore a sinner to a state of grace, not until penance (good works) are performed. The necessity of good works is a point where Protestants disagree. Also- there were plenty of strong independent women around before they had the right to vote.

I only watch movies with a strong independent girl-boss lead who puts the know-it-all men in their place. It better reflects the woke agenda that is being pushed.

Maddy's upset that there are no trans folks in the film.

❤❤. She was human

It's National Review, not Catholicism Review. More politics videos please.

I welcome the film reviews. NR is about politics and culture - standing athwart history, yelling stop. This is a good example of that.
