Fatima is definitely a must-see movie. I appreciated the presentation of the apparitions from Sr. Lucia’s words and not Hollywood’s imaginary storytelling. The children’s spiritual innocence is well presented. I only wish there could’ve been more on the apparitions, the miracles, and (especially) the miracle of the sun and afterwards. Thoroughly thought provoking on one’s faith!

Great movie

Fatima is told simply but emotionally, prioritizing the sensorial reality of the children's world and the people inhabiting it. This devotion to the real makes the holy vision palpable and plausible.

While not especially artful, Fatima honors those who stand by their convictions. That its role models are children makes the message all the more remarkable.

I also appreciated the film’s quick glimpse of Hell itself, which Lucia is plunged into as a warning to whose who won’t accept salvation. With its cheap CGI demons and soundtrack of wailing souls, it was unintentional comedy of the highest order. If you need me, I’ll be laughing all the way to Hades.
