Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Christina Noble overcomes the harsh difficulties of her childhood in Ireland to discover her destiny on the streets of Saigon. A true story.”

Poster: C- / B

Review: (#1) With a heavenly glow, our protagonist stands high above the happy, supposedly endangered children she cares for. It’s not a particularly memorable or striking design. (#2) On the other hand, this one is a bit cheesy in parts, but it’s a clear attempt to try something inventive and stylish, which is always a welcome change.

Trailer: C

Review: What separates biopic from documentaries is how they are presented. Documentaries use physical evidence and interviews to tell a story, much like a newspaper would. Biopics are the visualized equivalents of scripted TV shows and, as such, need to be a lot more interesting and exciting than this film appears to be.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
