It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Blistering performances.
This film is a real eye opener to how one person can make a real difference in so many lives. In this world of self promotion and selfishness it's nice to know that one woman can do so much to create a better world for so many. Everyone can learn a thing or two about the Catholic Worker movement and Dorothy Day as a person form this documentary. This particular expose of Dorothy Day is told through her writings (novels and editorials) and personal letters which gives a personal touch to the film that can only be achieved from this first hand information. The film leaves the idea of canonization for Dorothy Day open to the viewer instead of following a biased pursuit.
