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.

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

As single-minded as its protagonist, Cabrini drives home in every scene its themes of human dignity—particularly the dignity of women and marginalized groups including immigrants and the poor—and solidarity in the face of prejudice and social injustice.

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.
