Leave your thoughts about Marie's Story.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA remarkable spiritual drama about compassion, loving, and creative caregiving. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterRespectfully Catholic and beautifully shot. Isabelle Carre and Ariana Rivoire give stunning, physically rough and tumble performances. |
| Christianity TodayKenneth R. MorefieldMarie and Marguerite's relationship is interesting, but it's the film's religious setting that elevates it beyond melodrama. |
| OregonianMarc MohanFor the most part, it's a convincingly acted, earnestly told drama that works on the heart and the head. |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerFrance's answer to The Miracle Worker, Marie's Story is also based on real events, and it is just as much the story of the girl's resolute teacher-like Helen Keller's Annie Sullivan. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonDespite the familiarity of the story, so similar to the one told in "The Miracle Worker", I would defy you not to be moved by the achievements brought about by sheer will and a triumph of the spirit. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThough based on a remarkable true story, this clichéd tear-jerker is barely interested in Marguerite’s revolutionary teaching methods, focusing instead on the intensity of her connection to Marie. |
| Village VoiceMarsha McCreadieTo play Marie today, Améris found the non-actor Ariana Rivoire at the Institute for the Deaf. And Rivoire is a revelation — showing what it's like to be in, and then break out of, a world of total darkness and silence. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenAt its most provocative, it suggests a tension between spirit and flesh in the nun's maternal feelings. Rather than examine that friction, Améris pushes the narrative in predictable directions. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiMarie's Story is still inspiring and hopeful, although the film is underwhelming. |
