Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

Thérese unfolds with the sunlight-and-daffodils piety of a Sunday school slide show. Read full review

Sheri Linden

Does offer a few deeply felt moments. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The devout will no doubt enjoy this picturesque dramatization of an inspirational story many have known since childhood; others may understandably expect something more. Read full review

Ned Martel

Artistry is not the inevitable outcome, and fluffy costumes and French location shoots are the only production elements that don't seem wholly amateurish. Read full review

Reece Pendleton

Has the spiritual and emotional depth of a Hallmark card. Read full review

Ellen Fox

Therese's story would work better as a marionette show than on the big screen. The camera is best at picking up subtleties, and there are simply none here. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Her mortal story seems one of sadness rather than inspiration. Read full review

How one could see this and not be touched is beyond my comprehension. This is a wonderful movie, well cast, well directed & true to the life of St. Therese. Kudos to all who helped bring this to the screen.
