VHS Movie Reviews of Saving Grace
Movie Review: The Pope is Human
Summary: 4 Stars
Tom Conti makes this wonderful story of a young Pope who accidentally gets locked out of the Vatican, and makes use of the situation to mingle among his flock - a small Italian town, where he makes a significant difference.Heart-warming story. But, more importantly portrays the human-ness and 'like the rest of us' nature of the Pope.
Movie Review: A truly charming film
Summary: 5 Stars
What a shame this movie is out of print! This is a delightful story of a catholic cardinal who reluctantly becomes pope. A year into his papacy we find him discouraged by the bureacracy of his job. When an opportunity presents itself for him to sneak outside the Vatican walls, he journeys to an impoverished village to try and make a difference in the lives of real people, while maintaining his anoynimity as best he can. His adventure teaches him and the villagers lessons they will never forget. This movie comes across beautifully without indulging in all the sappy sophmoric formulas we've come to expect from Hollywood. We see Pope Leo go from quiet frustration to quiet determination to a quiet joy. It is really a treat to watch him metamorphasize.In addition to a great script and a fabulous performance by Tom Conti, the scenery is truly beautiful.
I give this one a big thumbs up!!
Movie Review: Diamond in the Rough
Summary: 4 Stars
The premise of this movie is what captivated me. The Pope on the loose. How would or could he cope? There are too many flaws to rate this too highly (most would think I already have, but I never tire of seeing this movie, especially with someone who hasn't seen it. Haven't shown it to anyone who didn't like it. Give it a view. And by the way, I'm not the only one who'd buy the DVD immediately.Movie Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie. I borrowed it from my university library and now I can't wait until it is released on DVD so that I can buy it!Movie Review: Deserving the DVD treatment!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sure wish this was available in widescreen DVD format. A sweet little film, if a bit predicable and pushing saccharine. Perhaps Conti's best performance, though, and Giancarlo is wonderfully understated.
