Pray Away: the failure of conversion therapy for gay people

Last updated on: August 9, 2021 at 3:05 pm By Sister Rose

In my review of the 2018 narrative film “Boy Erased,” based on the 2016 book Boy Erased: A Memoir by Garrard Conley, I wrote that the film “is a starting point for parents wondering what God is asking of them when they discover their child is LGBTQ. First, you love your child unconditionally and go from there. You don’t hurt them, or give them pain and suffering so that ‘good’ [change of sexual orientation] may come of it…. Now... Read more

Last updated on: May 11, 2021 at 3:16 pm By Sister Rose

I was able to interview “Finding You” producer Ken Carpenter earlier this year about his new film. It tells the story of a young American girl who goes to Ireland for a semester abroad and discovers herself, romance, and how fulfilling care and love for a resident (played by Vanessa Redgrave) in a home for seniors can be. I have posted links to the audio and video of the interview below as well as to my review in St. Anthony... Read more

Movies and series about Ultra Orthodox Jews beginning with “Shtisel”

Last updated on: May 11, 2021 at 2:42 pm By Sister Rose

With the huge success of Netflix’s three season series “Shtisel” there is growing interest in seeing more films and television series about the Ultra Orthodox Jews who live in Israel, the US and other countries, according to new friends I discovered on the Facebook Group page “Shtisel Addicts.” I am blessed to count among my friends an Ultra Orthodox rabbi and his wife. I have been to their home a few times for Shabbos and once for Succoth. Each time... Read more

Conquering Giants: David vs Goliath Virtual Reality Game for Kids (and maybe some adults)

Last updated on: February 10, 2021 at 5:32 pm By Sister Rose

DvG: Conquering Giants is a new Virtual Reality game aimed at gamers of all ages, but especially kids. Because I am not a gamer myself, I asked my nephew, Max Bressler, a college sophomore in San Diego, and a gamer since kindergarten who has all the technology, to review DvG: the Game for me. It follows below. Personally, I think it is good for the Scriptures to enter into the gaming space, especially in this year that Pope Francis... Read more

“Gun and a Hotel Bible” entertaining and provocative play-into-a-film

Last updated on: January 6, 2021 at 2:22 pm By Sister Rose

When he discovers she continues to see another man regularly at that same hotel, he checks in, carrying a backpack with a gun in it. But already present in his room is the fast-talking enthusiastic Gid (Daniel Floren). He’s been there, he... Read more

Notes on film criticism for Catholic reviewers

Last updated on: December 28, 2020 at 3:56 pm By Sister Rose

Recently I had an email exchange with the award-winning filmmaker Frank Frost, president of Frank Frost Productions on the topic of film criticism, specifically on the task of Catholic film reviewers and critics. While some reviews will note content problems (language, sexuality, violence, etc.), it is often offered as guidance for parents for what may be appropriate for children. Our conversation, however, dealt with context, expectation, scope, and concerns of the Catholic film critic. While our conversation did not cover... Read more
