| Summary |
"'Therese' is not like any other biographical film of a saint - or of anyone else. It makes a bold attempt to penetrate to the mystery of Therese's sainthood, and yet it isn't propaganda for the church and it doesn't necessarily even approve of her choice of a vocation." - Cf. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times (February 19, 1987) |
