Lady of Guadalupe

Too predictable, dialogue and script too naive as if written by college or maybe high schoolers; it's forced, and too simple in its dialogue that it tends to leave the viewer with more questions of who wrote the screenplay.

I really enjoyed this film because it made me reflect on my own relgious and Latin x experience as well. Being able to see parallels between Juan Diego and John made the story of Lady of Guadalupe more relatable.

This film was absolutely stunning - from the talented cast, to the beautiful production + shots, Lady of Guadalupe takes you through parallel stories of historical and present time making it a must see film!!

They aren't kidding about calling this film an uplifting drama! I laughed, I cried, I felt my heart pound out of my chest! This film narrates a beautiful story we've all heard some version of - the miracle of Juan Diego and the Lady of Guadalupe. This movie, on the out set, may appear to be only for Latinos, but, as a non-Latino person, it offers a new insight into the Latino culture and heritage that is not generally available to most people. Today, amid a global pandemic and heightened racial tensions around the world, this film offers a sense of renewed hope and confidence in a brighter tomorrow, even when the night is darkest. This is a movie that every individual, Latino or not, Catholic/Christian or not, Guadalupan believer or not, should watch. It relates a story we have all heard at least once to the experiences of a Latino today and reminds us all to "have a little faith" and believe in tomorrow's rising sun.

I appreciated watching a modern narrative alongside the historical narrative. It shows that, although the Lady of Guadalupe story happened hundreds of years ago, the lessons from the story can still be applied to today. In addition to the strong narratives, I also thoroughly enjoyed the performances of the cast and the stunning cinematography.
