Mother Teresa: In the Name of God's Poor

 

UK 1997, 95 minutes
Dir. Kevin Connor
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Drama

Topics: Religion, Biopic.

 

Aroview: Geraldine Chaplin gives a resolved performance as the modern day saint, bringing vigor to this made-for-television account that begins with her work in the Calcutta slums, and culminates with her 1979 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.

Despite having one of the 20th century's greatest humanitarians as material, this feels like a mere glimpse at an icon rather than a reflection of the conflicted yet deeply committed woman herself.
