Saint Judy

Its a tv-movie production on people of different reasons seeking political asylum in the u.s.a.. its also a biographical flick about judy woods, an l.a. based lawyer, and her way into this trade of justice.

its a typical lawywer client judge courtroom film, that at the end ends very well, and its solely made to show that there are hope. technically its ok but no more than that.

its a film that should fit everyone who likes courtsoaps etcetera, nothing extravagant, but a good watch while waiting for your favourite show,thinks the grumpy old man.

I liked this. It's a bit moralistic and leans heavily to the white knight on a charger is a lady type theme. There are a few good men to be found lurking in the background, who are only good because they have been guilted in to being so. The pretty refugee who has cheesy bits around her lips, is properly doped up by the authorities until wonder woman Saint Judy comes along and saves the day. Saint Judy does this all while having no pay cheques until the very end. How on earth does she rent a house, rent an office and put food on the table? Is this the ultimate charity of strangers movie? I will admit that the story did strike me as one that is only too real and relevant and that there is injustice that is worth fighting against. Nice touch with the ending.

Certainly not worthy of the conspiracy reviewers and low ratings. It's background is a little bland, most of whatever is happening outside the politics and law seems completely unnecessary, but it's a nice little inspiration piece. The only 'agenda' that was pushed was the simple pointing out how the western world has indeed failed many people that needed asylum. It touches on issues that aren't often talked about, and quickly breaks down any xenophobic ideas with a lot of love and love good will. Gives you the warm fuzzies.

7.0 stars.

It's based on a true story, which makes this more interesting than most. I think it's dramatized just the right amount. I like the actors, they all did very well. On one hand, it's very real for any person who needs asylum in the USA, but there's a fine line between those who need it and those who are trying to cut corners and get citizenship any way they can. Let's face it, we would grant it to all these people if we could, but it's just not reasonable, because then it's nothing but an open can of worms and then everyone from every third world country will be in the USA before you know it. So the I. C. E. System is there for a reason. But this woman definitely got justice and amen to that.

The story is guaranteed to touch your heartstrings. It makes you are for all the characters, hoping for victory and justice. I hope there are more people as selfless as Judy Wood!
