Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Andres-Camara It's not just a boring movie. It is a repetitive film, but all his cinema is repetitive. He does not know when the sequence has ended and continues.The problem, for me is that the director himself does not know what he wants to tell and so it is difficult to tell.The actors are sometimes seen acting, but there are times when you do not see what happens and so it is difficult to see how they act.The photograph says nothing. Apart from being a cold movie, but not by the light, it is a distant movie. He does not tell us anything.The director, lead, for my taste, without being clear what he wants to tell is difficult to do. It repeats the sequences, lengthens them, bores and only knows how to make plane sequence, although it does not count anything and although the camera this badly put, that usually is normal.It's another film by this director, so special

paul2001sw-1 It's hard to know what to make of Ulrich Siedl's 'Paradise' trilogy, a series of films about the lives of unhappy middle-aged women. 'Faith' tells the story of someone dementedly committed to spreading the love of Jesus, in a life tragically devoid of any love from other humans. Her unexplained marriage to a paralysed, Muslim man is the source of especial unhappiness, although she seeks out misery apparently believing this is what God wants of her. It's grim, and believable, but the purpose of the first two films, with their pathetic yet unsympathetic protagonists and complete lack of redemption narrative, remains unclear. Somehow I'm not expecting a song-and-dance in film three either.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is "Glaube" or "Faith", the second chapter from Ulrich Seidl's "Paradise" trilogy. The movie runs for slightly under 110 minutes and features Maria Hofstätter as Anna Maria in basically every scene from start to finish. It is nice to see she won an Austrian Film award for her performance. Ver deserving. This movie runs for almost 110 minutes and it is a steady progress. It actually starts as a really light film. It had a nice comedic touch when we see the protagonist bring Virgin Mary to all these households. The reactions from the people and the way Anna Maria reacts to them felt truly authentic. Well-written film. There is that long scene at the hoarder's apartment, which is really hilarious, but it is also the ending of the film in terms of comedy. Everything afterward is drama and some will shake you to the bones, especially the last 10 minutes.I am always a bit careful with the term "masterpiece", but I think in terms of films centered around the difficult topic of religion, this one here gets everything right. It does not try to be monumental in the grand scheme of things, but tells us the story of one particular person, for whom religion is the most important aspect in life. There is certainly a lot to discuss about this one here. Was Anna Maria fulfilled with her life? Was she maybe even happy? It seems like she had no real human relationships with anybody else other than her church group. However, does she really need other relationships if she has found God?This was the second time already that I watched this film, saw it the first time when it hit theaters, and I must say it has even gotten better on rewatch. It was smart from Seidl to include these sequences in which she goes out with Radio Maria and get the little statue out to the people. A much needed form of comic relief that still does not take away anything from this films seriousness, especially with the last couple scenes. Gonna check out "Hope", the last chapter soon, check out my review for that one as well if you want. I liked that one as well the first time I saw it, so I hope I will enjoy it as much again. But more importantly, if you like films about religion, do not miss out on that excellent effort here. Highly recommended. The only minor criticism I have is the poster from this film here. It looks a bit like forbidden fruit and that is totally not what this film is about. Other than that, a sublime watch.

petarmatic This film goes right in the heart of it all in Austria and for that matter in Western Europe as well. Islam is coming and Christans are afraid! That is the real truth! Struggle of Anna Maria and Nabil is a struggle of the worlds, different continents and cultures. But it has compatibility to it. Struggle between two great religions brings them together in love-hate relationship! Who will win? People in the park! They are the only the once who understand: There is no God and only thru sexual satisfaction you can achieve happiness before inevitable end!It is also a story of foreigners coming to Austria for a better life and they do not find any! Austrians are terrified from them but can not start ovens in Aushwitz or Dachau yet. That little bit of power USA and Russia still have, prevents them from doing that.Please try to obtain this film and watch it!
