"Therese" is an amateurish film. Not just the acting or the dialogue, but also the make-up, hair, costumes and sets felt less like a theatrical film and more like a high school production by folks trying to present spiritual themes to an unsophisticated audience.
There are many better films about religion out there. I strongly recommend "Into Great Silence," a recent documentary about Carthusian monks, "The Greatest Story Ever Told," about the life of Christ, or "Passion of the Christ" for viewers who can handle that film's violence.
St. Therese de Lisieux has had a profound effect on the lives of millions, and she deserves a better movie than this. Until that movie is made, read her book, "The Story of a Soul."
