Gómez Andreu’s camera is in love with the clenched jaw and burning eyes of [Cristiana Dell’Anna's Mother Cabrini, who] stares directly into the camera, seemingly incensed with all of us for allowing anti-immigrant agendas to advance in 2024.

| Original Score: B | Jul 3, 2024

While Monteverde’s film highlights the main character’s incredible work (...), including its encounters with xenophobia, the biopic as a whole falls short of leaving a lasting impression on the spectator.

| Original Score: C | Jun 22, 2024

You long for a bit of Gangs of New York-style grit. There’s no denying, however, that Mother Cabrini’s story is inspiring.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 4, 2024

Cabrini is surprisingly beautiful, making great use of dramatic lighting and including carefully composed scenes modeled on contemporary photographs by Jacob Riis of How the Other Half Lives fame.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 27, 2024

A missed opportunity to do something interesting. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2024

Small in stature but big in heart and determined with a specific and heartfelt message, Cabrini is a classic studio biopic lionizing its subject and her accomplishments but also reminding us what is due each other as humans.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 5, 2024

As the entrepreneurial-minded Cabrini, a captivating Cristiana Dell’Anna conveys her strength. conviction and unwavering devotion, and is a considerable presence on screen. 

| Original Score: B | Apr 3, 2024

Cabrini is a little too lengthy (142 minutes), but this biopic about Frances Cabrini adeptly balances themes of religion and civil rights. It's dependably inspirational with sturdy performances, despite the film's frequently drab look and tone.

| Mar 31, 2024

It's better than I anticipated even if it also proves to be exactly what I thought it would be from its trailer and pedigree.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 29, 2024

Christina Dell’Anna gives a fervent portrayal, tough as nails and focused on the mission. This story ... although by the book ... needed to be told, if only to emphasize again that in America we all come from someplace else, and need our own St. Cabrini.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 27, 2024

a solid historical biopic that dramatizes the life and struggles of a notable saint who made a genuine difference in the world

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 27, 2024

Mostly engaging biopic of America’s first saint.

| Original Score: B | Mar 25, 2024

A beautiful story about strong women.

| Mar 25, 2024

A sincere account, told with grace, of someone who made a difference.

| Mar 23, 2024

I thought it was impressively done and beautifully mounted... My only objection is that some of it felt very staged, very Hollywood.

| Mar 23, 2024

I actually rather enjoyed this... A pretty faithful biography of Cabrini.

| Mar 23, 2024

Cabrini, a biopic about Frances Xavier Cabrini, occupies a middle ground, locating itself somewhere between inspirational fare and hardscrabble realism while trying to liberate itself from parochial constrictions.

| Mar 22, 2024

I was impressed with its scale and elegance and especially with the lead performance by Italian actress Cristiana Dell’Anna.

| Mar 22, 2024

A believable and emotional story about a woman who fought against people, gender roles, discrimination and her own illnesses, to do some good in this world. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 22, 2024

This faith-based film concentrates less on faith than as it does on Mother Cabrini’s unshakable determination. It’s affected, but it’s a reverential portrait.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 22, 2024
