You know that feeling we've got when we see a lot of people preaching lots of rules and we see this same people doing the opposite. We just think everything is wrong and the only way is live by ourselves. Not everything is wrong and we can't live by ourselves, but the church must change or people will start to think they are self-sufficient. The movie is about the dogmas of Catholic church and people's faith in general.
A priest goes to Brazil to check if miracles is really happening after the death of another priest who was expelled of Vatican. He discovered they are real, but is obliged to stay silent. Meanwhile Frankie Page receives a string of beads from her mother who was visiting this beautiful country at the same time the priest died. Turns out it was the priest string of beads and he was suffering of the Stigmata, then it starts to happen Frankie. This is just the begging of a great, entertaining, touching movie.
I've read some negative critics about this movie, saying that it wastes a great plot with video-clip sequences, referring to the visual effects, but I thought they were great and didn't prejudice the seriousness of the story.
Moreover, Gabriel Byrne is good as always and Patricia Arquette is wonderful, she shows all her talent playing this girl.
Watch this movie, think about it and use in your life the things you learn with it. Forget the rules and use what we learn with Jesus and then John Lennon immortalized in his song: `All we need is love'.
