Lady of Guadalupe

A reporter for a Latin newspaper is given the assignment of writing an article about faith in that community. The boss tells John that he should be proud of his Latin background, as he is the typical secular American young man. He decides to investigate Our Lady of Guadalupe, using a Jesuit priest as a source. His wife is injured badly in a car accident and he struggles with the reality of the story and his wife's recovery. The film travels back and forth from modern day society and 1531 Mexico. The actors are fine and the story a bit contrived as the couple is shown as a perfect pair. The religious aspects are well done, and as a struggling Catholic, I was moved by the scenes of the appearance of Mary to Juan Diego, even though I am well versed in the history of the story. I highly recommend Lady of Guadalupe.

I appreciated watching a modern narrative alongside the historical narrative. It shows that, although the Lady of Guadalupe story happened hundreds of years ago, the lessons from the story can still be applied to today. In addition to the strong narratives, I also thoroughly enjoyed the performances of the cast and the stunning cinematography.

This film was absolutely stunning - from the talented cast, to the beautiful production + shots, Lady of Guadalupe takes you through parallel stories of historical and present time making it a must see film!!

A torture to watch. No development of characters. Sappy and sentimental.

An incredible story about such a crucial part of both Latin and Catholic history/culture. The film itself was shot so beautifully and I very much enjoyed the ethereal cinematography. It will leave you speechless. The talent is amazing as well. 10/10!
