While it's better than most faith-based offerings, "Fatima" doesn't quite hit its marks as effectively as it might have.

Its spiritual teachings and messages are often shrouded in vague statements and unanswered questions, and its central faith-oriented focus is relentlessly overshadowed by repetitive interrogations of the young witnesses to the Marian visitations, overemphasizing the skepticism of doubters and giving the film more of a secular tone than a spiritual one. The picture makes up for this somewhat with generally fine performances and surprisingly good production values, but, at its core, the film leaves viewers more perplexed than enlightened when it comes to what it's attempting to say. With better handling, this really could have been a breakthrough offering for this genre, but, as it stands, it's merely a modest improvement over previously released films of this type, a missed opportunity for a class of pictures seeking greater respectability, credibility and acceptance.… Expand

I hope that would be considered to the Oscars next year.

The film begins with the date of 1989 and is a declaration of intent. The director does not deviate from the official interpretation of the event provided by Wojtyla on May 13, 2000, the Catholic version of Hobsbawm's "The Short Twentieth Century" (1994): the prophecies received by the 3 Portuguese shepherd children concerned the parable of Soviet communism. Today, however, geopoliticians such as Dario Fabbri and Lucio Caracciolo speak of a "long century", just as in the religious sphere it is doubted whether the prophecy of Fátima should be considered concluded: are we sure that the miracle of the sun must be associated with John Paul II through the Latin motto "De labore solis" with which he is indicated by the Prophecy of the Popes? What would the fall of our star on Earth mean?
Ps: to play Sister Lúcia at the age of ten, it was selected not a humble-looking girl as in reality but a young actress with the appeal of a Disney Channel star. Vatican hagiographies have adapted to the regime of profane marketing. With Rossellini and "Francesco, giullare di Dio" ["The Flowers of St. Francis", 1950] it was not yet the cas_e.… Expand
