In a working class neighborhood in Los Angeles, a world weary Henry Poole buys a house, caring little about its lack of amenities. He drinks and eats pizza. Recent stucco work has left a brown stain in a patio wall, and, to Henry's irritation, Esperanza, a neighbor, is certain she can see the face of Jesus in the stain. She brings her priest, then others. Meanwhile, Henry hears his conversations replayed over the fence in another neighbor's yard: it's Millie, about 7, mute, clutching a tape recorder. He tells Millie's mom why he's sad and angry. The face on the wall seems to shed a tear of blood. Is Henry beyond feeling any emotion?

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA deeply spiritual movie about miracles, hope, love, and living in the present -- one of the best films of the year.
Fresno Bee - 9/10 by Donald MunroIt's like a pushy neighbor who keeps inviting you to church and won't take no for an answer.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertAchieves something that is uncommonly difficult. It is a spiritual movie with the power to emotionally touch believers, agnostics and atheists -- in that descending order, I suspect.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin... examines ... in a sometimes subtle and sidelong poetic way, is examine the ways people recover and heal.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's less a tale of religious rebirth than a faith-based Hallmark card.
BrianOrndorf.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfA grossly obvious take on the draining push and pull of faith, the picture is warm to the touch, just not digestible or, ultimately, meaningful.
Sin Magazine - 9/10 by Austin KennedyEven if you're not religious (like me), HENRY POOLE is an inspiring, charming little movie that is about believing. A little syrupy at times, but ultimately moving.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Lewis BealeEven with its failures, Henry Poole Is Here takes on material that very few filmmakers even attempt. For that reason alone, the picture deserves respect.
EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderThe kind of movie where you could read the first 20 pages of the screenplay and accurately predict what will happen in the remaining 80.
Let's Not Listen - 8/10 by Tricia OlszewskiYou can feel the filmmakers' manipulation at every turn, yet there's a melancholy and life-is-a-gift spirit that still conveys.
