<\/strong>Its visual splendor is matched by the strong moral convictions and absence of cynicism that characterized many movies of the 1940s, when Catholic heroes were all over the screen.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The film, which feels overlong at 145 minutes, suffers both from repetition and an over-reliance on melodramatic plot devices. But it nonetheless delivers a compelling portrait of a heroine whose story is too little-known.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The production values of “Cabrini” are solid, if obvious and uninspired.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>For all that can be questioned about the makers\u2019 intentions, the movie\u2019s greatest sin is how lifelessly solemn and aesthetically dull it is.<\/p>\n
