    Beautiful film with weak lead actress
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2013*

A beautiful film on St. Therese of Lisieux, a 19th century French bourgeois girl who became world-famous through her autobiography after dying young of TB in a convent. As an independently produced Catholic indie, it is primarily hampered by a so-so lead performance by amateur actress Lindsey Younce, whose stilted delivery evokes high school theater. Early scenes of family interactions follow "The Story of a Soul" (autobiography) pretty closely, but the inexperienced Younce is so unexpressive/wooden and petulant that some of these moments are painful to watch. Nevertheless, the mysterious source of strength in Therese's short life -- a cheerful joy for life rooted in faith despite her many sufferings -- emerges gradually as she loses her mother to an early death, her father to mental illness, and finally her own life to illness.If nothing else, Younce plays her deathbed scenes with heartfelt depth, making up a bit for the lack of gravitas throughout the rest of the film. In the final illness scenes, it feels like we're watching St. Therese rather than Younce, saving the performance. There are other highlights. Director Leonardo DeFilippis achieves a rich cinematic look augmented by a beautiful film score that helps carry us through the inconsistency of Younce's frequent church-pageant acting flourishes. He also plays Louis Martin, Therese's father, with a studied sensitivity and warmth that is a highlight of the film.Overall, the film is superior to Alain Cavalier's celebrated "Therese" (a 1986 French winner at the Cannes Film Festival) inasmuch as it gives a more straightforward narrative of this woman's life. Cavalier's film has greater depth, a better lead actress, and a more beautifully subtle treatment of the source material -- but its European minimalism, vignette-driven narrative, long periods of silence, uncomfortable religious sexuality, agnostic distance, and lack of context may puzzle some viewers who may desire a more straightforward treatment of Therese's life. This newer film, while inferior in artistry and acting to that of Cavalier, is better for narrative coherence and may be more appealing for English audiences since it lacks subtitles. It is suitable for family or church viewing and appears intended for that audience. Unlikely to appeal to non-believers, it is nevertheless calculated to be uplifting for believers, and I for one have come to appreciate it from that perspective. It may also be preferable for American audiences and younger viewers who find the French minimalism of Cavalier's film bewildering. The Little Flower still awaits a truly powerful cinematic treatment, but this film is probably the best of the bunch for now. Incidentally, Amazon needs to correct the date on this product listing: This "Therese" came out in 2004, not in 1986 as it says on this page. It seems someone at Amazon confused the date for this "Therese" with the Cavalier "Therese" of 1986.

    Spiritually Moving
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2006*

I myself did not know much about St. Therese before this movie.  I do not claim to know a lot now ... but, through this film, I have been intrigued enough to want to learn more.There are those who say that it is impossible to condense "The Story of a Soul" into a movie.  This is very true.  But, let's think about that statement for a moment.  Is it even possible to condense a life into a book?  To have the WHOLE story one would have to write every day's activities (the entire day) into a journal.  The book would be at least 365 pages long for every year of a person's life.  I say even "The Story of a Soul" cannot (technically) cover all of St. Therese's beautiful life.That being said, why not start with a brief introduction?  Of course, the movie is never as detailed or as intimate as the book, the book is never as detailed or as intamate as the life!If you are the type of person who studies your faith, yet you have areas other than St. Therese you prefer to study at this time, why not a brief introduction through this movie?  It is great for the whole family.  Regardless of what anyone says this movie makes you stop and think.Some inacturate reviews state the cinematography is lousy and the acting worse.  Because of these "ugly" reviews I expected my DVD of Therese to be cheap movie making. I was shocked that anyone could say such ugly things about a movie that was so beautifully shot.  The cinematography is well shot. The acting is excellent. The settings are beautiful.Don't hesitate! The fruit of this movie is inspiration, and isn't that what St. Therese herself would want - to inspire you?

    I love this movie
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2014*

I love this movie.  Several people have disagreed, but such is the critique of art.  Everyone sees things from their own perspective.  I believe it shows much of what was in the heart of St. Therese.  It shows her deep love for God, and how she never lost her love of her family.  It displays how she had to come to terms with a love of God that would separate her from family and the life she had always known at a very early age.  It also shows how once she made the decision to follow God how she was enveloped in a great serenity, and lived perpetually in love.  What I liked was in little snippets of the movie you will see Therese's "Little Way" very well exemplified.  I like it because it shows this theology of hers through her actions, and it doesn't draw a tone of attention to the situations that exemplify this aspect of her; if you have read about Therese this is how she, I believe, would have wanted her "Little Way" displayed.  Over all a deeply enriching movie, for me at least, and also I believe a wonderful movie for anyone discerning a spiritual vocation.  You may like it and you may not, but it is definitely worth the time for you to decide for yourself.
