    Stigmatas are gross and dumb, but like all unreal things, movies can make them fun! TERRIBLE soundtrack...it was trying to hard to appeal to early 2000 high/middle school students.

    A very deep and powerful story with controversial content. Wonderful performances from Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne.

    Not a film for the easily distracted, but one I definitely recommend.

    I loved Gabriel Byrne in this. Not something I would normally enjoy but really did enjoy this (even if it was a little hard to believe).
