Mother Teresa

Good movie.

I thought this might be a great "unknown" movie to watch after a nice "curry" dinner with the family. So I purchased it and previewed it. My husband, depending on his mood, may think it is slow and boring. But I don't know a woman out there that won't love it. It is moving and inpiring and just a terrific little movie to make you realize what a selfish person you are. My gosh, Mother Theresa was a saint. The movie will inspire you to be less selfish and more giving to the needs of those around you. And what a great film to show the kids.I was afraid it might be in Italian with English subtitles, because I first found out about it surfing the web and stumbled upon a website of the Italian TV miniseries that was so popular and had become a movie on DVD. I was pleased when I discovered all the actors speak in English. This version is entirely English. But you do have the option at the start of the movie to add either English or Spanish subtitles if you want... and because the actors have a sometimes heavy accent, the English subtitles might be nice to know exactly what they say sometimes. The movie was around an hour and a half long.I'm so glad I own it. I can have a girlfriend's party and we can eat curry and watch it together. I can share it with the ladies at church some evening. And I can rewatch it when I am down and depressed about the stresses of life and it will add a juxtaposition to my perspective on things. Give me cause for - what does that Covey guy call it - a paradigm shift? Definately!

I cannot tell you how wonderful this performance was. I have read so much on Mother Theresa, and was prepared for a mediocre docudrama, my goodness, how surprised and inspired I was. YOU are THERE with Mother Theresa in the slums of Calcutta with Olivia leading you as the Mother. Simply amazing acting and cinematography and direction. I found myself doing the Sign of the Cross in Love watching the pivotal scenes in this movie. Please do yourself the BLESSING of watching this God-inspired, Madonna-inspired, Mother Theresa inspired little masterpiece!

Not everyone will agree with Mother Teresa. Not every Christian will want to be identified with her. But this movie shows the passion that drove this wonderful saint to love the "poorest of the poor." Few can criticize her until the they have lived as she lived, sacrificed as she sacrificed, and loved as she loved. This film is well produced and well acted. The actors all work to bring the love of Christ to life in the film. The musical soundtrack is an additional actor that brings the story to life and the CD of the Soundtrack is worth buying! Mother Teresa is one of the best known names of the 20th Century and yet the movie fills in the blanks, shows the heart of one who lived the incarnation of God's love, and who lived the Sermon on the Mount. I may not agree with her biography, her views on other religions, but in the end...this film leaves every viewer inspired...and most of all, it leaves ever viewer with the hope that "Hey, I think I can do that with the people I know who need love." A truly inspiring film to be seen by everyone.

Very good cinematography depicting the forsaken of Calcutta. One can see how the more affluent residents of Calcutta were unhappy with what the world was seeing so many years ago. The story flowed pretty well, even though there seemed to be gaps in the early part of the movie; one could not be sure how much time had passed. I understand that this was originally a three-hour made-for-TV movie that was pared down by Amazon to two hours. The music was lovely. The acting was believable and relatable. I had not seen Olivia Hussey since she played Juliet in 1970, and I thought she acquitted herself quite well as Mother Teresa. I have never delved into the life of this woman more deeply than news stories, and some reviews state that the film glosses over some less attractive aspects of her life. Even so, one must admire anyone who took to heart the lesson of doing “unto the least of these”. I can recommend highly.

I sent this to a non catholic friend who was facing some difficulties. I thought it may offer perspective for them. They said they appreciated this very much, and still refers back to it when they’re in times of stress or sadness.

this movie is a definite keeper. i had already watched this movie several times on youtube until it was removed for violation of copyright infringement. i am not a big movie watcher but i have always been a big fan of mother teresa. i have watched just about everything in relation to her and the MCs that is available to us today. this is the first time i was able to grasp the true concept of what it would be like to walk with her and know her personally because this movie brings her to life in a very profound way where bits and pieces of documentary can not. THE LETTERS movie to be released on DVD about the 28th of march is one i have on preorder that promises to bring mother teresa to life but i already know after seeeing this one, it will most likely pale in comparison, you just cant improve on perfect. and i did make the purchase here on amazon to buy this movie because i dont ever want to be without it. mary

This movie is an excellent portrayal of Mother Teresa.I’ve bought this movie on disc twice and the 2nd oneis now getting a bit worn,not as clear as I would like.So I was excited to find it on Amazon Prime and immediately bought it and it is now downloaded so Ican watch anytime. Very touching movie!!❤️
