5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie about the Greatest Lady, July 6, 2009

This review is from: Gospa: The Miracle of Medjugorje (DVD)

My wife and I went to Medjugorje the year which the film, Gospa, was released. My wife had a nasty bone spur in her heel and was not able to go up Apparition Hill or Cross Mountain. We attended a healing service conducted by Fr. Jozo. Fr. Jozo lay his hands on my wife's head. Although my wife is not an overly emotional person, she felt a warmth go through her body. After that she felt no pain in her heal. A subsequent x-ray showed no trace of the bone spur.

When we returned from Medjugorje, we went to a local theater for the opening of Gospa. We were turned away from the box office. We were told that the film caught fire in the projector! We bought the film when it came out on videotape. I am glad that it is now available on DVD.

Martin Sheen captures the spirit of Fr. Jozo. Michael York is terrific as the lawyer defending Fr. Jozo.

For anyone planning to go to Medjugorje, this film would be an good way to prepare. For anyone who has been to Medjugorje, this film would be a good way to relive the experience. For anyone curious about Medjugorje, this film would be a good way to find out about the place where the Greatest Lady on earth or in heaven is still appearing

3.0 out of 5 stars A story of courage but an amateurish film, September 19, 2008

This review is from: Gospa: The Miracle of Medjugorje (DVD)

In telling the story of the Franciscan priest, Jozo Zovko, this film has great strengths but awkwardly mixes those with weaknesses. The visions of the Virgin Mary by six young people in Yugoslavia is a captivating event that inspired millions all over the world. Looking back at the first days and months from the perspective of Medjugorje's pastor requires the viewer to look beyond the performances of actors and watch through the eyes of faith.

As a viewer, it was awkward to listen to the variety of accents, American, British and Croatian, without feeling the film was amateurish. As a pilgrim to Medjugorje, seeing the sacred places on film was one of its highlights. Martin Sheen's portrayal of Fr. Jozo is excellent, but is a contrast to his other roles, like President Josiah Bartlett, and required me to look beyond the performance.

This is not for Medjugorje what the Song of Bernadette was for Lourdes, however it is a good introduction to the story for those who have never heard of this Bosnian village. It allows deeper insight into the dangers that were faced between the religious leaders in preaching the gospel in the Communist-Socialist state that was Yugoslavia in the 1980's.

Thanks to Martin Sheen for doing this movie about a supernatural event that everyone seems to be ignoring.
This movie adds valuable insight that when paired with books about Medjugorje presents a complete picture of God trying to reach His people in a way they will respond to.
Definitely worth purchasing and sharing with your friends.
