They say that conflict is the essence of drama, and in this handsome but impossibly somber biopic there is almost nothing but conflict. Following up last year’s surprise hit Sound of Freedom, director Alejandro Monteverde neatly sidesteps a repeat of that film’s controversy with a story that cannot remotely be interpreted as a QAnon allegory. Based on the true story of Frances Xavier Cabrini — literally the first American saint — this takes a most un-MAGA viewpoint on immigration, painting an unvarnished portrait of racism in a country that is supposed to embrace the tired and the poor.
Right from the start, Cabrini impresses with its set design, giving Martin Scorsese’s studio work a run for its money and taking place shortly after the latter’s atmospheric brace of 19th century movies, The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York. A title card informs us that between 1899 and 1910 some 2 million Italians emigrated to America in search of a new life. But as we see from the pre-credits sequence, in which a seriously ill Italian woman — Cabrini — is rushed to a hospital, New York back in those days wasn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for this new influx of foreigners from Europe.
In flashback, we meet Cabrini (Gomorra’s Cristiana Dell’Anna) back in her homeland, where she runs an order of nuns in Cordogno. She has big plans, and mistakes a summons from the Vatican as an invitation to state her case. Instead, she is smacked down from on high and told to “stay where you belong.” The Holy Father, however, is impressed by her tenacity, and the ambitious scope of her intention to combat poverty by establishing an independent order of missionary women in the Far East and then working back through Afghanistan and Persia.

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor Upon his 2013 graduation from the Orange County School of the Arts, Justice Smith assumed he would spend some time “waiting tables and doing small roles in indie films here and there.” Instead, he found himself working the blockbuster space fairly quickly, booking roles in “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” and its sequel “Jurassic World Dominion.” He stood out opposite a fuzzy creature voiced by Ryan Reynolds in “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu” and as a half-elf sorcerer in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.” (It’s intended as a compliment to say both films have no right being as good as they are, considering their origins.) Though it was a crash course in big-budget filmmaking, the 28-year-old actor notes that he wouldn’t have had it any other way. “I’m blessed because those experiences were also highly technical environments that challenged me,” he says.

Alejandro Monteverde, whose Sound Of Freedom was the top grossing independent film of 2023, is back in theaters this weekend with Cabrini, also from Angel Studios, in wide release. The true story of an indomitable Italian nun on a mission to aid immigrants living in misery and poverty in late 19th century New York City, stars Cristiana Dell’Anna as waif-like Francesca Cabrini. She navigates a Pope, an Archbishop, the mayor of New York and the Italian Senate among others to build a charitable empire starting with one orphanage in the immigrant slum called Five Points (last seen in Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York). Giancarlo Giannini plays Pope Leo; David Morse is Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan; and John Lithgow a villainous Mayor Gould — men Cabrini lectured, sparred with, cajoled and threatened to realize her life’s work. Canonized in 1946, she is the Patron Saint of Immigrants.
Carlos Aguilar Embraced by Q-Anon conspiracy theorists, last year’s “Sound of Freedom” racked up over $250 million worldwide and brought Mexican-born director Alejandro Monteverde back in the spotlight almost two decades after his awfully saccharine 2006 debut “Bella” won the People’s Choice Award at TIFF. A filmmaker with an unabashedly Christian conservative agenda, Monteverde’s latest is a frustratingly sluggish biopic of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini (Cristiana Dell’Anna), an Italian nun who defied the Catholic Church, as well as American institutions, to aide her countrymen in New York City during the late 1800s.

The View when he took aim at the lockdowns that forced children across the United States to study from home due to health concerns.Speaking about his new book, We’ve Got Issues, Dr Phil was asked about how children should deal with social media platforms.“In, like, ’08, ’09, smartphones came on, and kids started, they stopped living their lives and starting watching people live their lives, and so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality, since records have ever been kept, and it’s just continued on and on and on,” Dr Phil said, the Independent reported.He then pivoted to criticise the lockdown orders.“… then Covid hits 10 years later, and the same agencies that knew that, are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years.“Who does that? Who takes away the support system for these children? Who takes it away and shuts it down?“And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers, with no way to watch, and referrals dropped 50 percent to 60 percent.”American lawyer and The View host Sunny Hostin interjected: “There was also a pandemic going on…”Her co-host, actor and comedian Whoopi Goldberg also pushed back by stating that the lockdowns were an attempt to “save kids’ lives”.“Remember, we know a lot of folks who died during this,” she said.Dr Phil retorted: “Not schoolchildren” before clarifying that children were the “safest group”.“They were the less vulnerable group and they suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of Covid than they will from the exposure to Covid.“And that’s not
