| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2022

The core of this new production, of evident Catholic roots, is that of always, the emotional, and destined to the already convinced, to the believer... [Full review in Spanish]

The visions arrive in a bright light as part of nature out of the breezes that move the trees, though there also is a CGI sequence of hell.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2021

At under two hours it's not a long film, yet it feels as though your faith is being tested at every turn.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2021

Pontecorvo seems particularly interested in conveying the gravitas of Lúcia's spiritual burden, which is anchored by Gil, who is full of quiet intensity and impressive conviction.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 28, 2021

Fatima raises some intriguing questions about faith but sadly fails to make us believe in anything more comforting than the climate of fear, distrust and grief that flourishes during wartime.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 25, 2021

A film that, in stark contrast to most faith-based fodder, is gorgeously shot and designed.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2021

Difficult to remain engaged, despite a talented cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 24, 2021

Pontecorvo shoots the film radiantly - including a quick CGI excursion to hell - but there is something spiritually complacent about his slickness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2021

You'll either be inspired, or inspired to giggle a little.

An attempt at an interesting political affray that ends in an illusion. [Full review in Spanish]

"Fatima" is a gorgeous film with inccredible performances by all cast members. The beautiful, majestic voice of Andrea Bocelli sets a spiritual and haunting tone of the film.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 12, 2020

Sure to be adored by religious types despite its faults, this tries to maintain a wary and neutral tone... But, as a wise man once said, you've got to have faith. You've gotta have faith...

If you are a believer, then just as with that wall in Apia, you will quite possibly see in Fatima a beauty and truth that I was blind to. And that is truly just fine.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 10, 2020

The film may be of interest for the devout, but otherwise it's a plodding meander that tells of a slightly intriguing footnote of early 20th century history.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 10, 2020

Even for a confirmed sceptic, conviction can be addictive.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2020

An old-fashioned but very beautiful film.

"The reverential film will not change the minds of either believers or doubters.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 5, 2020

The child actors don't quite deliver on the demands of a script that requires they believe their lines in order to get us to believe the film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 4, 2020

A smooth, reverential account that will be embraced by believers but is unlikely to convert doubters.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 3, 2020
