Reviewer notes

Recommended

Providing care, comfort and compassion to the world’s downtrodden is undoubtedly a noble, if exhausting and often-frustrating, cause, especially when pleas for help go ignored or fall on deaf ears. Yet, every so often, someone comes along who tirelessly keeps on fighting for those less fortunate, as was the case with Italian immigrant Mother Francesca Cabrini (Cristiana Dell’Anna).…

A cracking movie! I can't say I was expecting much from <em>'Cabrini'</em>, given I hadn't heard anything about it online or in real life - no trailers or anything of ilk. I was also <em><a href="https://letterboxd.com/r96sk/list/watched-in-an-empty-cinema/" rel="nofollow">alone in the cinema</a></em>, which is pleasing personally but is possibly a bad sign for a movie. In actuality, though, it's a great production!…

Cristiana Dell'Anna delivers strongly here as the eponymous nun determined to set up a network of orphanages in China to help the sick and impoverished children there. Her persistent hassling of the Vatican for permission - and funds - has finally wound them up to the point where she is invited to Rome to be finally told no.…

Cabrini is heartwarming and emotional. I loved how Francesca Cabrini never gave up on her fight for orphans, despite facing opposition and many hardships. It taught me that if you have a heart to help others, you shouldn't be discouraged by obstacles. The film made me think that even seemingly impossible things can be achieved if you persevere and believe in what you are striving for.

This movie is a true testament to the fact that persistence and faith can move mountains. Despite Cabrini going through her own struggles, she is willing to help those in need no matter the challenges she faces. Cabrini’s determination reminds me of times in my own life when things felt difficult, but I still had to keep pushing forward.

I loved this movie because I feel that, despite being a "period piece" (set in the late 80s), it addresses many issues we still grapple with as a society today. I had heard of this nun before, but learning a bit more about her through this film made a huge difference. Highly recommended!

Cabrini: ​Francesca Cabrini is fighting an uphill battle against the political establishment in 19th-century New York to secure housing and healthcare for impoverished orphans. The men in power constantly try to dismiss her because of her gender and her heritage. ​I thought the moment she sits across from the Archbishop after being told to lower her ambitions was incredibly powerful. She doesn’t raise her voice or throw a fit. Instead, she just gives this incredibly calm, unblinking stare that holds entirely too long, letting a slight, knowing smile touch the corner of her mouth. The absolute unyielding defiance in her eyes says it all

I honestly didn't expect much from Cabrini, but it really got to me. Cristiana Dell'Anna is fantastic as Francesca Cabrini. She's tough, smart and stubborn, and it's so satisfying watching her outplay all these powerful men who keep underestimating her, even while she's sick the whole time. The movie looks great too, with old New York shown as this dark, dirty, crowded place that feels real. It's a bit long and a couple of the bad guys are a little too obvious, but the story of how immigrants were treated back then really stuck with me, mostly because it doesn't feel that far from today. Definitely worth a watch

I really enjoyed watching Cabrini. The story was inspiring and had themes about faith, determination and courage of a pioneer who dedicated her life to serving others. I want to watch it again.It's based on a true story and not imagination. I totally recommend it to you, you may watch it with your whole family. Cabrini taught me to live differently and make the a better place to live

Is a movie based on the true story of Francesca Cabrini. I honestly didn’t know much about her before watching it so I was surprised by everything she went through to help children and immigrants.What I liked most was her determination even when people doubted her or things got difficult, she kept pushing forward. Her story was inspiring and made me want to learn more about her work.Overall, I really enjoyed Cabrini. It’s an inspiring movie with a strong story about faith, courage, and helping others. Rating 8/10

This is genuinely a remarkable masterpiece that demonstrates how a single act of kindness can tremendously improve the world around us.

Cabrini is a very nice movie fitting in that category of entertainment media . It’s story is very inspiring and provided me more knowledge. It highlighted how in history there were always women who kept to try what they are not expected. Angel studios produced a good one here and was worth my time
