A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Always, for me, her performance was a sort of revelation. as Saint Mary, mother of God. As Juliet. the delicacy to explore the role and give its entire chain of nuances remains admirable. "Mother Teresa" is just another example. for the inspired meeting between delicate precision of acting, a clear, useful message and beautiful cinematography. it is a generous film. and that does it a film for everybody. because it is a film about duty, God and sacrifices. about, in fact, the sense of life. not thesis, not lessons. only a travel across the signs of a world in sufferance and the answer who could be offered day by day. sure, for many people, Mother Teresa is a saint. for others - source of controverses. or cultural icon. the film is not exactly the tool of one of that directions. but only a sensitive testimony about a way to change the world helping the near man and woman near you. and it does that in the admirable manner. Olivia Hussey work is only one of basic motifs for see this beautiful film.

Marvelous film showcasing the excellent acting talent of Olivia Hussey. Hard to believe that it's over 35 years since her 1968 interpretation of "Romeo and Juliet."This is an extremely inspiring story of the nun who looked for the most simplicity of life in aiding the impoverished. Her dedication to the suffering of mankind is definitely an inspiration to us all.Not only does the picture beautifully capture what she must endure working among the impoverished, it also shows the problems that she goes through within the Catholic church, accusations of corruption and trying to accomplish her goals in a society that is not accustomed to handle what she wants done.Hussey is simply magnificent in the part of this saintly woman. She has her down to every movement of her walking, talking, etc.Too bad that the film did not bring out that Mother Teresa came from an affluent Albanian family.A wonderful film of the human spirit.

Olivia Hussey has done a great job portraying Mother Teresa in this biopic. Her voice and mannerisms match those that Mother Teresa had. The production values are top notch. The DVD looks excellent on HDTV and the sound track is well scored. Though it wasn't actually filmed in Calcutta - the Shri Lankan locations used have a similar feel and atmosphere. The story focuses on Mother Teresa's struggle with the church leadership to move out to work with the poorest of the poor. A first for a nun - in a city like Calcutta. It deals with her motivation, not in a preachy way. I was moved to tears a couple of times while watching ... felt that the production as a whole was powerful and moving.

To me this movie did a wonderful job of presenting the life and Mission of one of the world's most recognisable persons. Her name, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu , known to all as Mother Theresa.I had an initial expectation of a very Catholicy movie, but was most pleased with its realism and its relative simplicity.OK, there were a few cinematic glitches, eg. sound synchronizations, but then again this movie did not have $100 million spent on it.It's message was profoundly told and was for me quite an emotional experience, (yes I did cry a bit), gladness and Joy for a life well lived, sadness at its ending, hope for its continuing legacy.I am not a catholic person so this movie added more to my scant knowledge of Theresa, and I am going to research this heroine of God a bit more. And in this humble writer the movie has inspired a desire to seek more for Christ, and live a life more worthy...what more can be asked of a movie than its inspiring viewers to greater things.God bless you all
