Audience Reviews for Saint Frances

  • Jan 17, 2021
    Ordinarily, there's a good chance I would've overlooked this film as it really didn't strike me as something of interest. However, some positive word of mouth and its availability on Netflix convinced me otherwise and I'm very glad I gave it a chance. This is a delightfully refreshing human story that's told with an abundance of wit and honesty and it's very positive to witness a female centric film that addresses everything from menstruation to abortion with a genuine honesty and nonjudgmental approach. Anchored by two performances of great substance and nuance by Kelly O'Sullivan (who also wrote the screenplay) and young Ramona Edith Williams as the titular Frances. Two superb performances that bring out the heart and soul of the film.
