Overall a fair depiction of the events occurring in the Cova De Iria in Fatima Portugal in 1917. What was lacking was enough emphasis on the messages from the Blessed Mother, including the imploring of the Pope to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart and the consequences of that inaction which are very apparent in the world today. The Blessed Mother although beautifully portrayed, appeared "earthy" walking around on the ground barefoot and very unlike how the young shepherds described her as appearing standing on a cloud hovering over a holly bush with a specific sort of mantel and crown about her head. I also felt the movie was more centered around the seers and their family dynamics, particularly that of Lucia and her mother. The climatic "miracle of the sun" was brief and underwhelming and did not even address the appearance of St Joseph and the infant Jesus at that event. If this movie inspires an unbeliever to learn more about this event, then it is well worth the effort.
