Cabrini
The film is about the life of Francesca Xavier Cabrini. There are certain themes which are timeless and others that are timely. In the case of this production, it is both. The drive, initiative, power and success of Mother Cabrini is not only inspirational, but a lesson in accomplishment for the greater good. In the 1890s, Mother Cabrini was a social activist who championed the empowerment of women and the rights of immigrants. It was a time when women were treated as second-class citizens, while the treatment of immigrants was even worse. Her philanthropic accomplishments equaled the likes of Vanderbilt and Rockefeller, yet remarkably, Mother Cabrini a woman, Italian immigrant and a nun accomplished all of it without a penny to her name.

Awesome, but a bit too ultra-feminist
This was a very well done movie and told an incredible story based on a true story. It's great that it portrayed the story of a woman that did a lot of great things; however, it was agonizing how the movie had to keep blatantly reminding the audience that she was a woman, which oozed with the woke ultra-feminist "women are better than men" feel. I get that women weren't treated very well back then, but that message was over the top and unnecessarily pushed too heavily. I wanted the message to be about her great accomplishments, not what her gender was. It was otherwise a really great movie and would have been a 5/5 Overall Score and 0/5 Woke score without the heavy feminist message.
