Leave your thoughts about Therese: The Story of Saint Therese of Lisieux.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThérese unfolds with the sunlight-and-daffodils piety of a Sunday school slide show. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe devout will no doubt enjoy this picturesque dramatization of an inspirational story many have known since childhood; others may understandably expect something more. |
| The New York TimesNed MartelArtistry is not the inevitable outcome, and fluffy costumes and French location shoots are the only production elements that don't seem wholly amateurish. |
| L.A. WeeklyDavid ChuteSkip the movie, stay home, read the book and say three Hail Marys. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAlthough decently acted and well-crafted, Thérèse is essentially an illustrated Sunday school lecture for true believers. It comes across as more an exercise in determined piety. |
| Chicago ReaderReece PendletonHas the spiritual and emotional depth of a Hallmark card. |
| Chicago TribuneEllen FoxTherese's story would work better as a marionette show than on the big screen. The camera is best at picking up subtleties, and there are simply none here. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenHer mortal story seems one of sadness rather than inspiration. |
| User ReviewKennethD.How one could see this and not be touched is beyond my comprehension. This is a wonderful movie, well cast, well directed & true to the life of St. Therese. Kudos to all who helped bring this to the screen. |
| User ReviewEricS.Amazing movie, Saint Therese sets a great example of how to love God, and how to get to Heaven. |
