Nice film

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2015)

To be sure, this movie is melodramatic, but less so than Saving Private Ryan, for example. Also, improbable- but again, less than Saving Private Ryan and a large portion of the movies out there.
What is it? Just a very sweet (but not insulting), well acted movie that moves along at a brisk pace. The protagonist is terrific, and it is hard not to sympathize with him.
It is also a movie that has nothing disgusting. So it is a nice family movie, though it is NOT a children's movie.
The negative ratings, predictably, focus on the positive depiction of the Catholic Church. I would say it is realistic.
