Two new films on the lives of Mother Seton and Mother Cabrini are placing the spotlight on lesser-emphasized aspects of these holy women’s lives.

As much as ‘The Tree of Life’ is about a family, it’s just as much about Jack’s relationship with God, and how it changes as he grows.

“Immaculate” is a cut above its cinematic cohorts, due in no small part to its decidedly feminist take.

An idealist—like Jesus or Jefferson Smith—can be dangerous because he refuses to accept the compromises that form the foundation of their power.

This is a film aimed at the Doubting Thomases, the ones who dismissed the AIDS crisis as the natural consequence of a risky and deviant lifestyle.

My sense of dread over the film “Cabrini”? It was replaced by respect, even joy.
