Review
Very inspiring and interesting movie about this saint. Very theological throughout. Has a love story intertwined which emphasizes the importance of discernment of vocation. Excellent score, really really great music throughout.

Very family friendly (with a few exceptions below), but young kids will be bored.

- Potentially confusing philosophical dialogue
