Review of There Be Dragons (2011) by Kris F — 20 Feb 2012
It was a visually delightful film with a fantastic cast, scenery, and logical frame transitions. It failed to delight, however, with its storyline, which attempted to blend at least four gigantic angles: Josemaria Escriva's life, founding of the Opus Dei, and rise to sainthood; Torres' fall and eventual reach for redemption; the Spanish civil war; and a son's search for truth and meaning.
With films like this, I always expect to be so dramatically moved and inspired to be transformed. Tragically, neither happened in a dramatic scale.
