Mark Jackson Epoch Times A movie about Mother Teresa, who maintained that all life, from conception to birth, is worth preserving and treating with dignity, care, and respect, is, regardless of it's quality, important enough to get 3 out of 5 stars, in my book. Rated: 3/5 Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Center for Media Studies Mother Teresa & Me should be able to hold its own alongside other films about this great saint but the inclusion of Kavita's story means that neither plot line gets the full attention it deserves.

JP Great movie Well done. Great acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review Michelle M It wasn't done well. I love Mother Theresa and her works will stand the test of time. Heaven celebrates her. Just so happy whatever I paid for the movie is going to charity!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Harriet O Director weaves together 2 different stories with grace and understanding. I liked that it was a slice of two people's lives who were going through crisis. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Lucille The photography before the actual movie was amazing and set the mood for the movie itself. All I can say is please, please show more like this!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Connie I think it would be difficult to capture the tenderness as well as the determination and fortitude of Saint Mother Teresa. The actress was good but the dark moments of her faith may have highlighted an anger rather then a sadness and heavy heart. The pregnant woman was good too...displayed a typical modern women trying to break from others expectations . Self absorbed but confused as to what would bring true meaning to her life. The life affirming moments from the needy sleeping child in the crib when she smiled sweetly to the older linely man exposed a new reality..but...people want to know did she have and keep the baby at the end. I assumed she did. The final commentary after credits was very good. Worth waiting for... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Janice Loved this movie. Kept us very engaged and the time flew by. It showed Mother Tereas in a very real way, even the darkness of the soul that so many of our greatest saints experienced when Satan was trying to destroy their faith. Had no idea how they were going to tie the two story lines together but they did. Not preachy. Could be enjoyed by all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
