Avast ye mateys! The film "Cabrini" be playin' in the picture houses, tellin' the tale o' Mother Cabrini, a holy sister. Whilst some scallywags be praisin' its yarns and movin' pictures, there be a few doubloons who be raisin' their eyebrows. Aye, 'tis a mixed bag indeed!
The movie "Cabrini," now in theaters, is receiving praise for its cinematography, acting, and storytelling, but some of the harshest criticisms have come from faith media. The Catholic Exchange questioned whether the film is a "feminist Social Justice Warrior or Catholic Saint." EWTN criticized the movie for lacking religious meaning, and Catholic World Report noted the absence of holiness and prayerfulness in the portrayal of Mother Cabrini. The film depicts Mother Cabrini's struggles and successes in helping Italian immigrant children in New York City, but it fails to mention Jesus or show her praying. Despite its religious imagery, the script is filled with 21st-century feminist ideas. Producer Eduardo Verastigui defended the film against feminist objections, emphasizing its portrayal of empowered women. But some critics argue that the movie promotes self-trust over reliance on God. Despite the controversy, "Cabrini" highlights the work of Mother Cabrini and her impact on the Catholic faith.
