Sinekatalog’s take

Rossellini tells small episodes from the life of Saint Francis and his brothers, played by real monks, in a simple, childlike spirit. It is gentle, funny and sincere, and it finds grace in humility instead of miracles.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
