Review of Ignatius of Loyola (2016) by Sonia O — 27 Sep 2016

This film accurately depicted a slice of St. Ignatius's early life, and dealt intelligently and fairly with difficult periods like his dangerous brushes with the Spanish Inquisition, his long convalescence from a cannon injury, and his early romanticization and later Christian repentance of the warrior life.

This film deserves a sequel, and it's a shame that an excellent film like this with superb, capable actors, great settings, and a stirring musical score was marketed to so few theaters. I went with a group of friends, and we all were enthralled.

A must see to understand the origins of the Order of Jesuits.
