Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Raul Faust Well, I don't know which rate to give this film. It may just not be my kind of movie, or maybe it is and it's really really boring. First, the story runs too fast since the beginning, but the plot isn't engaging or involving enough to make you pay attention. And there are random things like that guy masturbating in bed in the very first minutes, what was that for? Second, the priest is annoyingly indecisive; in one scene he implicitly states the doesn't believe in his religion, then in the next scene he's already praying? As if people changed their mind about religion that quickly in real life... And what about that 'saint'? She looked more like a witch to me. And I didn't even make it to the end to know if she was accepted as a saint or not. Don't even bother if you don't have much interest in religion.

Peter Heeling The third miracle is a well written tale with a great touch of sentiment. A priest saying G*DD*MN*D is like lung doctor lighting a cigarette, provoking, like a movie of this kind should be. It's meant to leave something to think about, for me it was commitment of an individual priest finding his way in mass traffic between his left and right ear. I enjoy these true emotions or behavior because i believe everyone on earth has a set of weaknesses. I like these true emotions and choices when it comes to mind digging. Surely it's understandable that heavy religious people might be offended -the Archbishop was in the Nazi's army, drove around in a limo like a king and thought he was God himself-, but it's not the bible, I see it as a tale in a Catholic setting.This movie is based on personal choices, activated by a game of chess between animal nature and common sense. Throw in some faith and a time structured plot, have it sequenced very well, put in some great dialogue and moody setting, you will get a well deserved great movie! I recommend this film, it's in a way uplifting. 8/10

ladydolphin This film was a more than pleasant surprise! It had appeared on a cable movie channel..never hearing any publicity on this film..I liked the title so opted to watch! This is the type of film you want to watch over and over! Ed Harris is just magnificient as the priest..and the two scenes in the pic where he questioned his faith..to another fellow priest...and then accuses the Archbishop of playing God is the best acting I have seen displayed in a long time! I do sometimes like movies of a religious or spiritual theme..but this one is different!

Nick Adams_ For a non-practising protestant this film poses somewhat of a mystery. Its well directed, the acting is good, and the filming is sensitive and beautiful. The script however leaves me more or less clueless. The plot is basicly about a catholic priest who is assigned to test the possible sainthood of a recently deceased lady credited with two miracles. During the investigation he has has to face his own fears and doubts about his faith plus a various selection of earthly temptations. Surprisingly the film seems to side with the whole catholic idea of sainthood, celibacy and a priesthood living their lives under the oath of obedience. This seems to be something as rare as a modern religious missionating movie. The films other qualities makes it recommendable even to a non religious audience, but i think you have to be catholic to truly appreciate the script.
