Leave your thoughts about The Virgin of Juarez.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA volatile mixture of religious drama and crime story that doesn't mix well and in the end the film implodes. |
| User ReviewSacha CVirgin of Juarez had a good plot and cast. It shows how criminals can get away with almost anything. |
| User ReviewJim rTHE VIRGEN OF JUAREZ. A fascinating movie, also very educational. Based on real facts, about huge american coorporations, explotations of human beings, working in hard conditions in the manufacturing american factories over the mexican border. About a historical and most terrible injustice. Captivating, not to be missed. |
| User ReviewArmando RI liked this movie! The suspense is intense. Was I the only one that noticed that U.S. industrialists and the FBI ended up the real villians? |
| User ReviewMaria MI cried is very good. recommed everyone to watch it. |
| User Reviewelziard bThis was a true story and very interesting particularly when you see the real criminal is.The faith of these South Americans is absolutley undying tha tis for sure-she thinks she is the Virgin mary in the end.This film is worth a look. |
| User ReviewLorena GIt was Ok! I think that it somehow reflect the reality of people that can do anything for a better future! |
| User ReviewCarlos ZInteresting movie, sheds light on a serious problem in Mexico |
| User ReviewPeter CWell if you like a history lesson on murders/rapes of Mexican workers from Juarez who travel to El Paso to work for minimum wage, then this movie is for you. Lots of religious connotations of Stigmata which may interest Christians, Catholics in particular. |
| User ReviewDouglas IFound in the $1.99 bin at Blockbuster - we barely got our money's worth. My wife is a Minnie Driver fan and although I place myself in that camp as well - she was not a good reason to watch this film. The story begins with a compelling plot (based on actual events) - solve the mystery: hundreds of women are being found in Mexican desert, brutalized and assaulted. Community advocated fight to motivate a corrupt police force to bring the pandemic to a close. You're already intrigued right? Well, as the plot thickens, the movie takes a turn. A survivor becomes a beacon of hope, then a antemortem saint - a rally point to motivate the Christian masses. Sadly at this point the movie looses its self in a struggle between portraying the supernatural, following the real life events, and revealing the answer to the mystery. The film degenerates into a mash of bad editing and low production values with a let down ending. |
