Although the cause may be noble, the end effect is decidedly less rewarding.

Some cursing, drinking in faith-based drama.

A film stumbling again and again while marking the notes of comedy, fantasy and drama with sound clichs. [Full review in Spanish]

Good for the social cause but a horror as a film. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinemanía (Spain)

A film with a premise without any interest, unthinking spirituality and a staging below the very poor. [Full review in Spanish]

I just watched "The Healer" and found it to be such a touching story.. I highly recommend people check it out... all the way to the end. It was a blessing to me.

The Healer is a feel good, uplifting movie with a wonderful cast. My 12 year old enjoyed it too. All of the people (and animals) involved made the world a better place when they created this one. Lovely to find a movie that leaves you feeling so good.
