This movie has a lot of potential.

I really enjoyed this film. It took a while to get past the low budget and at times not great cinematography. But nonetheless it was a solid film. I wish it had a budget to match the story. The use of a modern story to retell the story of St. Francis was endearing. I would have loved to have seen this movie come alive with a budget that could have allowed the actors to breathe a bit without stepping out of the proverbial frame. The lead actors in the second half of the film did a good job carrying the story, and making me look past the camera. But you can tell this was a white man writing a story about black folks. Little things in the script were definitely not things black people say, they are things white people think black people say. Just having an advisor whose own story was close to the bones of this film would have done wonders for the authenticity and flow of the dialogue. But I am guessing that multiple passes on the script were made harder by the budget constraints of this film. All in all a good film. But you have to force yourself to get past the cinematography to see the story.

Catholicism and Christianity Intertwined

After seeing the trailer for this movie, I came in with low expectations. But my delight, the overall movie seems to be pretty okay. The storyline kept me engaged, and the acting was pretty solid. Still, I definitely could've gone without the first part about the Francis of Assisi. I actually fast forwarded through that part because it was kinda weird and boring.

Skip to the modern day New York City and the story of the rich, African-American son who, although rich, still feels unfilled and empty. The playout of his struggle between an inner, spiritual calling and riches was very compelling. Overall, I really liked the movie, but they could have left out the first part about the saint.
