Green - Recommended
On balance this film is in accordance with Catholic-Christian principles. The quality of the film as measured by the more traditional standards of writing, producing, directing, acting etc is also of a good standard.
In the case of this film being a character study it can be said that it has a clear redemptive message and a good degree of character development. In the case of this film being a family film it can be said that it has a wide scope of audience appeal. In either case it can be said that this film has some degree of originality.
