Lady of Guadalupe

This film is a must see! The acting and production work is phenomenal, and the overall story left me feeling inspired. If you're looking for a movie to watch with your family today, this is it!

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

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.

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!!

I really enjoyed this film because it made me reflect on my own relgious and Latin x experience as well. Being able to see parallels between Juan Diego and John made the story of Lady of Guadalupe more relatable.
