Exiled unjustly, convicted without a trial, slandered without cause. The life of St. Nektarios of Aegina was one of persecution and prosecution. A priest of the common people, his popularity provoked the jealousy of the clergy in Alexandria and as a result, he was defrocked and expelled from Egypt. In contrast to his religious "superiors", Nektarios cared for the poor, taught peasant girls to read and write, and performed miracles. Even his last moment on earth was used to help another: upon his death, Nektarios' undergarment was removed, and as it fell upon a paralyzed man in the hospital bed next to him, the lame man arose to walk. So, too, do we hope MAN OF GOD will awaken the paralyzed faith in audiences around the world.

Contrary to the review, Leslie Ferapin - who missed the point of the movie entirely - this movie was unbelievable. The pain, rawness, and truth of this story is awe-inspiring. The fact that this story actually happen makes it even more poetic. It's a must-watch no matter what you believe. Also, pray for Leslie, I don't think she gets the point of life.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I loved this movie. Based on a true saint of the orthodox church. Mickey Rourke does great work in a short scene. Only wish his was more. All the players were great. God bless them all.

This pious work is clearly designed to send believers into a state of ecstasy, but it may be a bit of a slog for the secular.

Rated: 2/5

Always Good Movies

Popovic struggled all the way with blandness and never found the key to rehabilitate the clerical figure in question. There was obviously much more to this man.

Rated: 2/5

Anyone interested in church history and ecumenical dialogue will find this story rather fascinating.
