Cheia de graça

Great movie of precise dialogue, well written and faithful to orthodoxy. As a Catholic I was comforted to see that there are still people capable of doing movies like this. A person like Mary deserves much more but this film will be taxed a worthy tribute. Mary is the best bridge to Our Lord and God Jesus Christ. One of the achievements of the film is to convey to the viewer the greatness of the spirit of Mary. In addition, they play with great consideration issues as important at the time as the opening of the church to non-Jews. The rhythm of the film is deliberately slow. The beauty of the landscape serves as a framework for reflection and dialogue of the characters. All this is leaving its mark on the soul of the viewer who, at the end of the film, feels that something has changed inside. Worth watching!

I cannot recommend this movie highly enough! The actress who portrayed Mary was absolutely stunning! Not "made up" stunning.... I mean, naturally, organically, spiritually stunning! After watching this film, I felt like I had just spent the evening in conversation with Mary and Jesus' Disciples.

the grace. it is its basic virtue who seems be the seed for a touching and profound story. the delicacy of images and dialogs. like pillars of a wise manner to present a special story about first steps of the Church. Bahia Haifi . She does a great job in a role who is always a serious challenge. the flash backs. who are frame and support for the memories of the viewer about the levels of Christian faith. the slow rhythm . who defines it more than another religious film. because it is more. it is point of reflection about manner to use your Christian roots. beautiful. and full of a rare spirit of poetry of life. a film for believers. because it not propose a subject. but a oasis to rediscover yourself for a Christian.

Mary has been one of the most debated and beloved individuals God has ever worked through.

In this beautiful work, Mary, the Mother of Christ, nears death as the early Church develops. Peter, while able to proclaim the Gospel loudly and triumphantly among Jews has begun to feel the pressure of leadership as the Church grows beyond the Jewish culture. In the midst of incredibly important decisions, and feeling unqualified, Peter seeks the counsel of Mary as she nears reunion with her Son.

This beautiful and eye opening film offers a unique perspective into Mary's role of Mother within the early Church. Practically every like of this film makes me want to grab a notebook and write word for word quotations. Additionally, special care was taken to ensure an ethnically diverse cast was taken. Moreover, the film is professional and well made unlike many other Christian movies. It's moderate pace encourages a meditative look at Christ's life and the founding of His Church from Mary's perception.

The subtle Catholic undertones through Eucharist, anointing of the sick, and other means take the film to the next level and made me fall in love with it. Even non Catholics would love this movie.

Despite the 1 star reviews from Protestant objectors, this movie does not elevate Mary to divine levels, it merely illustrates her unique and beautiful role within the Early Church. Anyone who likes the Rosary may reflect that this film is like a walking meditative Rosary.

Overall 10/10 loved it and highly recommend it!

The final days of the Virgin Mary and her conversations with Peter, the founder of the first Catholic Church, are recreated with many slow motion flashbacks. Bahia Haifi has the title role as Mary, and she delivers a subtle and glowing performance. Writer-director Andrew Hyatt is obviously a true believer in the biblical story and origins of Jesus of Nazareth. I can appreciate the aesthetic beauty of Full of Grace without having the beliefs of my personal Catholic upbringing. If Hyatt's mission was to force his audience to at least think of the possibility of redemption through faith, he has succeeded. I would like to share his acceptance of the teachings of the Church, but with my deep and doubting nature, I still do not believe in an after life. Full of Grace will at least cause a conversation on the subject.
