Noble Reviews
I love this movie! It's about making a difference in a world where the most vulnerable suffer.
Wonderful heart-warming true of a lady who is guided by the Lord through the trials in her life to do good and help orphaned children in Viet Nam through difficult times as she endured growing up in Ireland
I wasn't prepared for the gang rape scene. Four men grab her and although the rape isn't shown the kidnapping is as well as the vulgar words and the aftermath. She is later shown with torn clothes. Nothing is done to these four scumbags. But she doesn't let them destroy her. Women have strength that no man could compete with! This is an incredible movie! And even though men will try to hold women back as proven in this movie in the end the strength of women and perseverance prevail!
An amazing plot line. Terrific characters. Thoughtful. Thrilling. Wonderfully directed. It entertains, provokes, and stokes your senses.
If you are unaware of the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, it's worth researching her inspirational story
The movie intended to deliver a fine message. Based on the true story of Christina Noble, a charity worker from Ireland who went to Vietnam to help the street kids. This movie follows the stories from two different timelines. It opened with Noble's childhood days, from her struggling family to how she lost everything. Wanted to be a singer, but her terrible childhood turned her dream upside down and finally ended up in Vietnam finding her way to give children who needed love and care. Beside her intention was that no one should go through like she did. It is a beautiful and inspiring story, but the movie was not great. Because the stars and crews were not well known, but their contribution must be appreciated to spotlight this great lady, Chritina Noble. It also won some prestigious international awards as to recognising its valuable message. This British movie was written and directed by the husband of actress who portrayed in the title role. It is not an entertaining movie, but just like documentary films it was filled with strong contents that makes it must not be missed. 7/10
Hey, Vietnamese media, a major film about Vietnam, with Vietnam as principal setting! Anyone? I was surprised finding reading synopsis of this random film in the list of in-flight entertainment list, as I had no idea about the existence of this film or the benevolent lady named Christina Noble (her contribution deserves more attention from Vietnamese media). Her life is indeed extraordinary - a devoted [Catholic] Christian (just as her name) who, despite many, many heart-broken instants in life, still open her heart to the poor children of Vietnam without asking for any official recognition. But the film told her stories with a poorly-written script, full of unnatural moments, amateurish treatment of character development, shallow touch on the critical moments in Ms. Noble's life. The script is so sub-part that even the excellent production value and the decent cast could not prevent the film from being a total disappointment. Too bad for Ms. Noble, her noble life deserves a better film than this.
excellent movie and a must see. passionate in her beliefs and going for what she knows was the right thing to do. it started with a dream and ended as it should have, with happiness and laughter.
great movie showing the spirit of a woman that could not be defeated no matter what what was thrown at her. Great acting by those portraying her at various stages of her life.
