Critics Consensus: Noble is undeniably and impassioned, even if it sometimes goes overboard in trying to prove its real-life protagonist lives up to its title.

Intelligent, sincere and unabashedly goodhearted.
A feisty, passionate performance by the Irish actress Deirdre O'Kane gives the inspirational biopic "Noble" a serrated edge of defiance and gumption.
Uneven but nonetheless emotionally gratifying ...
[Her] Dickensian childhood provides real intrigue, but writer-director Stephen Bradley portrays the grown-up Noble as a messianic figure, making her philanthropy seem like acts of hubris rather than selflessness.
The real Noble accomplished a lot, but the movie insists on giving her achievements a mystical and mythical dimension ... without the imagination to carry it off.
Writer-director Stephen Bradley may make some missteps, but he capitalizes on this underdog story's inherent thrills.
The takeaway from this film is powerful, as we can all learn a lesson from Christina Noble; true happiness comes from helping others.
Stephen Bradley's biopic left me with the abiding impression that Christina found her salvation and that's rare, after all isn't that we're all striving for: salvation whatever that means.
We walk away with plenty of questions about what's going in Noble's mind, but one clear conclusion-both halves of her life would and should make compelling movies in their own right.
It moves from one traumatic event to another with the swiftness of a biopic thats trying to squeeze in all the major events of its subjects life so much so that none carry the weight they ought to.
Inspirational true story features many mature themes.
Although the script wavers on occasion overall the film works very well, it feels emotionally honest and is a fitting tribute to a woman it's impossible not to admire.
