I was amazed by the reality of the story, this is something my grandparents lived, had to hide the priest and nuns.
This story is about the now PRI which kept the presidency for the last 70 years, this was the fight about freedom of religion.
The actors …more»1 of 1 people found this review helpful-

Perhaps it's too political ?
Perhaps the parallel to our government is too Close?
Obviously from the reviews, it is a very well made movie.
Maybe it has something to …more»4 of 4 people found this review helpful-

One of the best movies in recent years. A true story of the ultimate sacrifice that brave men and women in Mexico paid for their religious liberty. Blessed Pope John Paul II canonized the martyrs which paid the ultimate price for freedom and their Catholic …more»5 of 5 people found this review helpful-

The film shows not only what can happen to catholism but how the fredom of a nation can be lost. A very good example of he loss of fredom and the brutality that accompanies that loss. While the film is set in another country 90 years ago, the message …more»2 of 3 people found this review helpful-

At first I thought this was going to be about Pancho Villa and the Mexican revolution. I wasn't let down that it wasn't. I learned a piece of Mexican History that I never had heard about, "Los Cristeros". Once getting into the movie …more»3 of 3 people found this review helpful-

This movie is one of the best I have seen in many years, based on true events, not some imaginary nowhere. A cautionary tale for our times.
