      Serge L A bit sugary and campy. I admit to snoozing, hence one star lost. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/18 Full Review Audience Member This movie isn't Academy Award stuff but it's still excellent. One of my favorite movies ever (and I'm almost 70!). I don't buy DVDs -- but I bought this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice movie.. A small town cinema in rural Ireland in the 1950s becomes the setting for a dramatic struggle between Rome and Hollywood, and a man and his conscience. Martin Sheen stars as Father Daniel Berry in a story about the excitement of the unknown versus the security of the familiar, as those in the town find themselves on the cusp of the modern but still clinging to the traditions of church and a cultural identity forged in very different times. -- (C) Tribeca Film (****ON NETFLIX****) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Even though it had Martin Sheen and was filmed in Ireland, I didn't really think it was anything new. A priest struggling to get his congregation up to current times, an affair, violent husband, and a greedy bishop. Not much new. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Relaxed performances and pillow-soft photography compensate somewhat for the story's narrow ambitions, but they're not enough to invigorate a movie that clearly would rather charm than challenge. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Ville ha en koselig og varm film. Denne var litt kald og grå. Men det gikk seg bittelitt til utover mot slutten Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Anderson Variety There's no shortage of blarney in Stella Days, helmer Thaddeus O'Sullivan's largely winning drama about '50s rural Ireland, but it's blarney with a twist. Jun 22, 2012 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post Soft Irish accents and good intentions aren't enough to save the poky Irish drama "Stella Days," set in a small town on the cusp of change in the 1950s. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 22, 2012 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Relaxed performances and pillow-soft photography compensate somewhat for the story's narrow ambitions, but they're not enough to invigorate a movie that clearly would rather charm than challenge. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 21, 2012 Full Review Tony Macklin tonymacklin.net Martin Sheen gives a lilting performance as dogged Father Barry. Sheen continues his professional and personal journey. The ending may not be as firm as one might want, but Stella Days is a further step in Martin Sheen's spiritual journey. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 17, 2012 Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune Working from a script as uneven as his accent, Sheen turns in an otherwise strong performance, but the sanitized Stella Days generates no real spark. Rated: 2/5 Jul 13, 2012 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Sheen powerfully conveys his character's crisis of faith and the lightweight film captures its bleak setting and quirky townsfolk.
