Critics Consensus

Aided by Cristiana Dell'Anna's performance in the title role, Cabrini is an uplifting biopic with a timeless message.

Audience Says

Cabrini is a powerful reminder of what can happen when people are willing to make sacrifices for the things they believe in.

TheWrap

While Monteverde’s film highlights the main character’s incredible work (...), including its encounters with xenophobia, the biopic as a whole falls short of leaving a lasting impression on the spectator.

Decent Films

As single-minded as its protagonist, Cabrini drives home in every scene its themes of human dignity—particularly the dignity of women and marginalized groups including immigrants and the poor—and solidarity in the face of prejudice and social injustice.

Looking Closer

Gómez Andreu’s camera is in love with the clenched jaw and burning eyes of [Cristiana Dell’Anna's Mother Cabrini, who] stares directly into the camera, seemingly incensed with all of us for allowing anti-immigrant agendas to advance in 2024.

Rated: B

You long for a bit of Gangs of New York-style grit. There’s no denying, however, that Mother Cabrini’s story is inspiring.

Rated: 3/5

Cabrini is surprisingly beautiful, making great use of dramatic lighting and including carefully composed scenes modeled on contemporary photographs by Jacob Riis of How the Other Half Lives fame.

Rated: 6/10

This film told the story of Cabrini however, it was too long, boring and repetetive. 2 Stars for the outstanding cinematography, genuinely surprised!

The scenery and realism of the locations and time period. The actors were wonderful as they brought the story to life. I hadn't heard of her prior to hearing about the movie, then at the end seeing all she accomplished. Wow, just WOW!!!
