Audience Member this is one of my favorite movies, it is a fish out of water story, on BOTH sides, the black american working his way across country, a group of german nuns trying to get a chapel built under the watchful eye of a stubborn mother superior, a café owner watching all this go down, a construction company owner being pulled in to the fray and all this happening under the arizona sun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Sidney poitier was the best thing in this movie . The supporting were quite good . Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review keith w 1960s mores but a harmless family film that was well acted and well structured. Poitier dominates but is well supported in a low key film. The ending worked well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the 10 tops movies ever made.Simple,elegant,poignant and entertaining. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful film, beautifully shot with engaging performances by masters of the craft. In our time of division, this quiet story shows that building together makes community. Yes, I love churches and communities that hold more folks than churchgoers. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review andres s That's funny I wasn't expecting the nuns in the middle of an Arizona desert to be all German and with heavy accents. Lol! It's charming though, and pretty funny. That part when the nuns are trying to learn English was really good. Real funny. All the nuns repeating him when he says, "My skin is black". Oh that was good lol. Oh my god, that was perfect timing. When he pops his head up from the wall where he's clearing out the debris, I thought to myself, damn they're making him work like a slave. And right as I thought that, he goes and says "Old mother gonna feed the slave?". Lmao fucking brilliant. That's great timing and sense of humor. I like the whole dialogue and relationship between Schmidt and the elder mother. She's trying to teach him things like a mother would and he acts like a child not trying to have any of her lectures. It's interesting to see the different walks of life that Schmidt comes across and seeing their point of view on life and religion, like the chubby store owner and the Irish priest. It was real sweet and humbling to see how he turned around and actually helped the nuns build the chapel they wanted. Let's be honest, ain't nobody in real life that would put up with the bossiness and attitude of the mother nun like Schmidt did. Damn! Straight up called her hitler. Lmao, she kind of had it coming. The movie can feel a bit too campy and lighthearted but it's feel good nature makes up for it. A little bit too religiously focused but in the end, the message was you don't do it because God told you too, you do out of the kindness out of your heart and because you want to help out. Overall, good movie but I wouldn't watch it again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
