- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsabsolute must see for all orthodox and followers of our lord jesus. not only this put me to tears but inspired me too look towards my dream to become part of the church and live as a monk.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsIt reminds me of St. Francis of Assisi who was basically thrown out of his own Order. It amply demonstrates persistence, faith, forgiveness, hope and love, even as the saint is always there for those seeking a path, an answer, and healing. However, it should have been made with a little more drama in general and emotional articulation from the saint, with heaving and pitching music to match certain scenes (although some of the music was beautiful, particularly in the scene where he carried the basket of rocks) (learn from Romero and Jesus of Nazareth). Maybe it's just me, but I fell asleep a couple times, lulled by the all-too-quiet dialogue. Could have shown a book of his and given us some more inspirational quotes from it, as well as inserting scripture passages pertaining to his and others suffering and in the dialogue with those who persecuted him.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI was deeply touched by this man's holy life. This is an excellent movie about a man who followed Jesus Christ teaching to the end. I recommend this movie especially when you feel like giving up on God. The Saints always point us to Jesus. I'm Roman Catholic and I am blessed to have learned about this holy man of God.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsJust saw this great movie on Saint Nektarios. Was at a retreat at an old monastery in Albania near Greece. We were all greatly inspired. The man was a true saint. Movie was beautifully made, captured the time and place.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsContrary to the review, Leslie Ferapin - who missed the point of the movie entirely - this movie was unbelievable. The pain, rawness, and truth of this story is awe-inspiring. The fact that this story actually happen makes it even more poetic. It's a must-watch no matter what you believe. Also, pray for Leslie, I don't think she gets the point of life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsI loved this movie. Based on a true saint of the orthodox church. Mickey Rourke does great work in a short scene. Only wish his was more. All the players were great. God bless them all.
