Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

kvsmm1945 Spoiler Alert.In one scene, Mother Teresa is walking along a train platform, just teeming with people. All of a sudden, the camera pans to one old man lying on the ground. As she watches, he lifts a hand and beckons her to come to him. She comes and kneels down to him; he grips her wrist, looks into her eyes and says, "I thirst." At that moment, she remembers Christ on the Cross as He said, "I thirst." From that moment, every beggar on the street became Christ to her, asking her for help.I was working in social services, but after seeing that one scene, my heart changed. I felt a new compassion. I looked at my clients with new eyes. Work became a way of showing the Love of Christ. I heard someone say, "Go and preach the Gospel to all nations - and if you must, use words."This dear little soul knew what that meant, and that is how she lived her life.

edwagreen Marvelous film showcasing the excellent acting talent of Olivia Hussey. Hard to believe that it's over 35 years since her 1968 interpretation of "Romeo and Juliet."This is an extremely inspiring story of the nun who looked for the most simplicity of life in aiding the impoverished. Her dedication to the suffering of mankind is definitely an inspiration to us all.Not only does the picture beautifully capture what she must endure working among the impoverished, it also shows the problems that she goes through within the Catholic church, accusations of corruption and trying to accomplish her goals in a society that is not accustomed to handle what she wants done.Hussey is simply magnificent in the part of this saintly woman. She has her down to every movement of her walking, talking, etc.Too bad that the film did not bring out that Mother Teresa came from an affluent Albanian family.A wonderful film of the human spirit.

roac-1 Olivia Hussey has done a great job portraying Mother Teresa in this biopic. Her voice and mannerisms match those that Mother Teresa had. The production values are top notch. The DVD looks excellent on HDTV and the sound track is well scored. Though it wasn't actually filmed in Calcutta - the Shri Lankan locations used have a similar feel and atmosphere. The story focuses on Mother Teresa's struggle with the church leadership to move out to work with the poorest of the poor. A first for a nun - in a city like Calcutta. It deals with her motivation, not in a preachy way. I was moved to tears a couple of times while watching ... felt that the production as a whole was powerful and moving.

gem4558 To me this movie did a wonderful job of presenting the life and Mission of one of the world's most recognisable persons. Her name, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu , known to all as Mother Theresa.I had an initial expectation of a very Catholicy movie, but was most pleased with its realism and its relative simplicity.OK, there were a few cinematic glitches, eg. sound synchronizations, but then again this movie did not have $100 million spent on it.It's message was profoundly told and was for me quite an emotional experience, (yes I did cry a bit), gladness and Joy for a life well lived, sadness at its ending, hope for its continuing legacy.I am not a catholic person so this movie added more to my scant knowledge of Theresa, and I am going to research this heroine of God a bit more. And in this humble writer the movie has inspired a desire to seek more for Christ, and live a life more worthy...what more can be asked of a movie than its inspiring viewers to greater things.God bless you all
