Drinker's Extra Shots - Cabrini

- Since the success of Sound of Freedom, I've been curious to see what Angel Studios would do next. And that turned out to be Cabrini, a real-life historical drama about a woman sent to 1890's New York to help the helpless.
- Zábava
An actual strong woman who isn't an insufferable Mary Sue girl boss, she must be kryptonite for modern Hollywood.
So much that flopped Hardee that Madame Web, a movie everyone made fun of
@SubZero-hs9xc Transformers movies made billions and most of them are utter shit, whereas many great movies were box-office duds that later became timeless cult classics like Idiocracy and Fight Club, box office alone isn't a measure of a movie's worth, unless you are a smooth brained consoomer.
Didn’t mind the strong women over men thing in this movie, she was a real women who accomplished real feats. Helped out america, I’m not complaining. 6.5/10 🦅🇺🇸✝️
And she's a Catholic nun, which really has to infuriating
Or something even more insidious, historically accurate!
I probably never would have heard about this movie otherwise. Thanks Drinker, for reminding us despite all the crap, there's still good out there.
Film threat is good at covering these types of films, if you’re interested (Chris gore is on open bar every one and a while)
They covered this right when it came out. Highly recommend their stuff
And it's worth fighting for
Thank you, Drinker, for reviewing Cabrini. Hollywood claims to promote strong female characters, but what they really do is get actresses to portray characters in a way as to make them appear as poor facsimiles of men, bereft of anything feminine. Cabrini actually shows feminine strength through the demonstration of maternal caring and maternal ferocity. Go figure that bravery and valor can actual be exemplified *DIFFERENTLY* between men and women.
Nice take on things, thanks for that.
Well said.
Thank you American saint Cabrini ❤️✝️🥹 no evil eye towards those who help our children!! Amen
I'm neither Catholic nor religious, but I'm honestly happy to see movies like this getting made. Some themes are important and timeless (i.e. help the helpless), regardless of context, and Hollywood is awash with so much drivel these days, films like this are a legitimate breath of fresh air
St. Cabrini is the patroness of my childhood parish, so I have a really soft spot for her. I'm glad that this movie is getting attention, I haven't seen it yet but I really want to
God bless you. ✌❤🙏
Sounds like it could use your support, best hurry while it’s still in theaters. 😊
Patron St. of my parish / elementary school was St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, up until I saw Cabrini I thought Seton was the first American saint but in fact she is the 1st American born St.
@@anthonyml7 April 22, 2024 - Interesting. God bless from a graduate from Holy Cross✝ elementary school, West 43rd. Street, New York City. Middle name Antony btw😊
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Drinker's obvious appreciation for well executed traditional films belies a sentimentality rarely seen. It's nice.
My grandfather asked me to take him to see this movie. He remembers his grandmother speaking about meeting Cabrini and helping by donating to her orphanages. Cabrini went to the Italian immigrants to ask for donations and my great great grandmother owned a grocery store. It was a very good movie and my grandfather had a hard time watching it because that attitude toward Italians was still going strong when he was growing up.
🙏🙏
Sounds like Drinker is in a pretty good mood.
Good movie, good mood - imagine all the garbage he has to watch so we don't have too.
I live close to the Mother Cabrini shrine here in Colorado, it's up in the mountains, and very beautiful, there's a giant statue of Christ at summit, visible from the highway
I'm glad to learn the history of the person it's named after
Going back to “Sound of Freedom”, I was worried I got swept up in the cultural moment of the film when it first came out.
Rewatching it, it’s a damn good film and very powerful.
I’m glad to see Angel Studios doing good work with more films like Cabrini.
Writing competency and a basic familiarity with reality, it works wonders.
"What makes something fundamentally entertaining - is to have it speak the truth about something, and so if you are meaningfully engaging with it ... I think that you cannot help but - if not be specifically didactic - to approach interesting topics that give people a foothold to engage."

Good job on Angel Studios for making a name for themselves.
"Making a name" They have one movie that was success because of the dumb people reaction to the message,
But above all i never hear anything frok the movie it self,
@@SubZero-hs9xc They're on the rise. Cabrini is actually something the critics liked since it's moreso artsy and cinematic.
They just need to pump a big hit like, say, a good King Arthur movie and/or a modern day Saving Private Ryan and they'll suddenly be dominant
Angel Studios biggest hit has been The Chosen, a tv series.
They also are seeing success with The Tuttle Twins tv show.
@@xLeeroycranex I love both your ideas. They also have an animated film about King David coming out next year that looks like it puts the last Disney movie to shame.
Thanks for a very solid clear review. I saw Cabrini over a month ago and I enjoyed it. For Catholics she is of particular note because she was the first American (though naturalized not need a born) saint. As an Italian American raised in New York, I will also tell you that Mother Cabrini is still mentioned in many contexts in the Italian American community in New York City. She also gets one mention in the movie Uncle Buck!
I also think that's amazing. The first American saint isn't an American woman but an Italian immigrant, because what is America if not a country where people come to fulfill a dream. And st. Cabrini did just that, despite all the hardship she faced.
I think that's just a really cool note
"What,are you Mother Cabrini? You never touch the stuff?"

'Uncle Buck'
😁👍
As a former Chicagoan, her name is infamous from the CabriniGreen projects, but now that they’re gone hopefully the association will fade with time. 🙏
Underrated movies that tells a story are better than overrated movies that are all flash and no substance.
Change my mind.
Nah, there's no need.
Underated for sure, since it flopped hard
Under promise over deliver , sure fire path to success , don't tell Disney
@@SubZero-hs9xc You seem very obsessed with trying to make everyone know that this movie didn't make money. Why? You don't address anything about the movie itself which is interesting since you accuse people who liked Sound of Freedom of not talking about the movie itself. You have left the same comment multiple times and I find your vehemence rather odd.
I haven't seen this movie and doubt I will because I don't really watch any new movies, but whether it flopped or not, the story does seem interesting.
@@ChaoticYak1 Likely it's the online name of a Disney Executive
So wild how a good chunk wanted Sound of Freedom to fail, despite it bringing attention to literal child traffickers.
Kiddie diddlers read the net too.
So wild how people menage to only tell this part, instead of you know, talking about the movie itself
That's cause Hollywood probably knew some of the kids from the Epstein bs
Modern politics have turned people into morons...
There's no common sense any more. 'The 'ists' on the other side like it? It must be bad!' Not that child trafficking should be in ANY way a political issue... And thus people turn off their brains.
i rather have a movie succeed on its merits than its greater cause. so i don't blame anyone to lift an eyebrow if someone argues in favor of it like jonbaxter here.
Thanks for doing a review of this movie! 😁
I'm glad to see this review too. I've seen trailers for this movie, but I'm reluctant to see anything with a strong female lead taking on corrupt white men in politics. On the other hand, a story of a woman fighting for poverty-stricken children actually does appeal to me.
I feel similarly about it. The story doesn't break the mold creatively, but you wouldn't want it to if they're aiming for a reasonable degree of historical accuracy. The visuals are gorgeous and the acting is up to the standard we as the audience expect of a quality film. All in all, it's a competently made and largely uplifting story of overcoming internal and external challenges for the sake of others.
Movie without "the message" and agenda! Go Angel Studios!
It was a solid movie. Not my typical, but the cinematography was excellent.
The cinematography looks like someone tried to copy Zack Snyder
During the movie, I asked my wife how they filmed so much incredible scenery with perfect sunlight or fog. Turns out much of it was filmed during COVID so there were not many people out and about and they could wait for days for the perfect setting.
@@christopherlyons4923 ... Are you responding to my comment or yourself?
Costumes were top tier 👍
@@SubZero-hs9xc- This was during the era when London moths literally changed color to match the grime deposits from coal burning and industrialization. Zach Snyder would have felt right at home in a big city of the era.
They filmed this in my home town and I purchased about 6k in period correct antiques from the prop company for like 200 bucks. Got a hand hammered, dovetail joined copper pot from fir trade era France for a dollar. Thanks bros
Sweet!
Cool!
Cabrini is a great film. Beautiful cinematography, a traditional strong female lead, inspiring, etc. Make movies like this again. I’d buy it on Blu-ray/4k.
Angel Studios is a name which i will start to follow
Yes! I've started looking at what they have coming out next. I am in interested in Homestead. I hope that it is available at theaters near me. I don't know how widely distributed they are.
Thanks Drinker, "Cabrini" looks like a good movie. I'll give it a look...
This is a great historical movie. Great review, drinker. 🎉
Thanks for covering this! I live near her shrine and it's really nice to see her getting some attention.
I hadn't heard of this movie. Thanks for the review and informing me about it!
I have to confess as a Catholic I was a bit apprehensive about this film, but on the Drinker's recommendation I'm taking it up
I am not Catholic and my husband is. We both thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
The Catholics I saw it with would have preferred a scene or two of her gathering her strength from God. The movie pretty much displays her strength coming from herself. Perhaps seeing her in prayer in the chapel before a big decision would have helped.
A movie that has the Catholic Church as something good? Haven't seen this since Daredevil.
I watched it in the theaters because I had a free ticket, and was happy that I did, it is shot beautifully! It's not just one of those biopics in which they rush a bunch of historical scenes; it is a labor of love, and one of those that shines in the big screen. Well done, Angel Studios.
I didn’t mind the strong women thing in this movie because she was a real person and accomplished real feats. Props and thank you true American saint Cabrini! 🇺🇸🦅✝️
Angel Studios has been surprising me with their TV shows and their films. They are at least all competent and not about the Modern Audience or pushing The Message. Heck, Cabrini is a film about a real woman hero and a film about religion. You'd think that'd be a setup for disaster but no, it's actually just a solid movie. You know, the kind that people used to buy tickets for and then maybe get the DVD of later on.
Well people didnt buy tickets for it
I love how they don't "preach" to you. Of course, it's a religious studio, but they don't shove it down your throat. I haven't seen a film I haven't enjoyed yet.
They’re literally all about the message, except it’s a different message.
@@MarkunatorI was just about to say that.
I don’t mind the message that Angel Studios is putting out because the over all message is about self-governance (see The Tuttle Twins).
What I love about this film is that the themes and plot points are ultimately the sort of progressive beats liberals would love - an empowered girlboss who is aided by independent women who don’t rely on men; she faces blatant racism and prejudice and fights the rich; she employs the help of sex workers, immigrants, and minorities; she goes up against white male politicians and church leaders; and there’s even a scene that is sort of implies gun control. They even released it on International Women’s Day and marketed it as a feminist movie.
But no Hollywood studio these days would ever touch it because (1) the protagonist is openly Christian (even though religion and faith actually have surprisingly little to do with the film) and (2) because Hollywood doesn’t *dare* put out anything that implies the very real reality that groups of white people have also been victims of racism. This is why I love that Angel Studios is giving films like this the opportunity to be seen. I only wish it replicated the financial success that Sound of Freedom did.
Instead, it was a flop
I think with time it will get it's audience. Remember movies like, Blade Runner, The Thing, Shawshank Redemption to name a few were all flops when they came out.
Good solid movies like Cabrini will get up there by word of mouth.
@@LPVPisFr33 please never compare this master pièces to "Cabrini" Ever again,
No one is talking about this movie
@@SubZero-hs9xc You are aware that you just wrote that in a comment section of ''The Drinker'' who is recommending this movie, right? He's got almost half a million subs on this channel plus almost 2 million on his main, right? Just making sure.
@@LPVPisFr33 yeah ok, take a look online and see how many ans how many views the video other video have
0:05 Sound of Freedom: *exists*
Twitter Freaks: "And we the Hive Mind took it personally."
I get shit for liking sound of freedom, but I’m supposed to care about that documentary about the kids in Nickelodeon.
I never understood why they lost their collective s*** over it.
St. Francis Cabrini pray for us!
You, you well sauced but lovable Scot you, are a most magnificent screen analyst. Drunken head and shoulders above the sober crowd. Well done!
I saw this movie in theaters and was thoroughly impressed by it. Angel Studios is doing great things.
Finally someone who pronounces it "by-opic" instead of "bio-pic".
Seen it early. It was tremendous. The movie is about the strength of the human, inspired spirit. A must see.
Thanks for reviewing. Saw it with my Mom a few weeks ago and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
I've been on the fence about seeing this one, as I have heard mixed reviews in my Catholic community. After the Drinker's review, I really want to see it now. 😊
Thanks, Drinker!
Really refreshing to see what an actual strong woman looks like
Why do women have to be "strong"?
@Jackfromshack they don't have to be but if that's the type of character in the movie It just comes across better than the typical girlboss is all
@@davyr847 strength is not a feminine trait. A strong woman doesn't automatically make a character better. On the contrary
@@Jackfromshack😂😂😂 bro you're such a clown
@@pedolover69 no any arguments, but you still crave my attention. You're the clown here
I loved this movie and cried my eyes out
Ah~ some quality content right as I was wondering what to watch
Nice to know after the demons of Hollywood beat you down, there's an angel out there offering to help you back up.
Yeah, so much that flopped hard
@@BumfluffAddlepate facts over feelings like You say,
And the facts says is a flop, you can like something that flopped hard, but flopped hard, but preteding this thing is popular is coping
@SubZero-hs9xc Okay but do you WANT it to flop or do you want it to succeed? Good word of mouth goes a long way to help struggling films pick up steam and revenue. If you didn't care for the film, fine, you don't need to rec it to anyone else. But what's the point in dampening the hope that people have that they might have something to watch that's not Hollywood drek? Are you trying to get them to give up on the movie and not go see it because "it flopped"? Or not buy it on home video for the same reason?
This movie should have gotten a review on Drinker's main channel. This is definitely one of the more underrated movies of the year.
Thank you for being gracious towards this film, especially when you're not a believer. Many other secular critics were not.
Didn't hear about it. The premise of Cabrini sounds awesome and tailored for me, I'll have to check it out.
I had just one complaint with this film: the final line is "Men could never do what we do." For a movie entirely about people of faith (women _and_ men) working together to help the helpless, that final line seemed like the creators were changing the movie's message from "Do good" to "Take _that,_ men!" as a parting shot. It felt unnecessarily tacked on to what was otherwise a good film.
Thanks for doing angel studios. They are AMAZING!!!!
DO THE SMALLER MOVIES NOW PLEASE
was a bit reluctant on watching this in theaters, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. great true story, cinematography was done very well, and great acting. would highly recommend.
This used to be the sort of movie I would wait for the DVD or streaming service before I watched it, but my wife and I saw this in theater and I can say it was money well spent. Just an overall good story without “the message”. Refreshing. Great review.
My wife and I got tickets to this movie a month before release, due to a mix-up in the theater we missed the first 15-20 minutes. Can't wait for this to be available digitally so we can purchase it.
I saw it a month ago while I traveled across America. Id stop for a few days in a tiny town in NM. They had an old school theater from the 40's and it was the only movie that was playing that weekend. Like you not a subject that I would run to watch but since I saw ''The Shift'' and liked it I figure why not?
Like you I'm truly impress with what they do with their budget, they always have at least 2 well known character actor in a movie to bring up the performances and with the costumes and the setting you can easily loose yourself and think you are there.
Since then I also checked out Angel Studios documentary called ''After Death'' about some scientists that have studied people that have died and had out of body experiences and that not all of them have the sensation of going up.
Highly recommend if you're into that stuff.
All to say that now whenever a trailer starts and see ''Angel Studios Production'' it peeks my curiosity.
Watch her in Gamorra. She's awesome. Fell in love with her from that series.
I would never have thought you would review this but I’m so glad you did :)
Loved loved loved this film… music . Performances, production quality… and well written compelling story
Thank you, Drinker!
My family really enjoyed this movie.
As both a lifelong student of history and a Catholic, I find stories like Cabrini and Therese (a St. Luke Productions film from a few years ago about the life of St. Therese of Lisieux) to be well-done family fare that can be uplifting and provide teachable moments to kids. Those looking for rock'em-sock'em non-stop action will likely be disappointed, but for solid drama that confronts the human condition, faith-based films are hard to beat.
Sound of Freedom still hasn't shown in several countries.
Angel Studios really knows what they are doing especially when it comes to character development and SOF and C are good starts for the studio.
Finally! Thank you for reviewing this wonderful movie. I’m surprised none of the popular CZcams critics are reviewing this movie. This is a truly moving film about a dedicated, strong woman.
Thanks for this good, unexpected review. I've heard of "Cabrini" before via EWTN's Raymond Arroyo, but this sober (!) review is really what I wanted to get. I'm going to see it, should it come to Brazil.
This movie just shows what the truly humble can accomplish
We saw this in the theater. It was excellent.
Last time I was this early ,
Disney and Hollyweird were still alive and well .
The first American saint that very few knew about.
Great that you covered this, but could it have gone on the main channel?
Can't wait to see it. Thanks Drinker!
Thanks for the review, Drinker! I'd not heard of this movie, and I'm definitely interested in seeing it.
You may not know it, or care, but Mother Cabrini was the first American, either naturalized or native-born, to be canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church. Also, she ended her days in Chicago, where she founded Columbus Hospital, on the lakefront. A wildly romanticized statue of her is in the lobby of the hospital.
My wife and I saw the movie today. It's terrific! A most impressive story, very well told.
I'm a 71-year-old guy, but I confess to tearing up when the children started singing "Va, pensiero" outside the opera singer's home. On the off chance that you're not into opera, "Va, pensiero" ("Go, thought") is a chorus from Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Nabucco". In the opera, it's sung by a chorus of Hebrew slaves who are singing of their love of their long-lost homeland. It became the anthem of the Risorgimento that unified Italy in the 19th century, and is the unofficial anthem of Italy today. It was so appropriate that the children should sing that chorus - and Andrea Bocelli's 12-year-old daughter Victoria sang it so beautifully!
Thank you again, Drinker, for letting us know about "Cabrini"!
Cabrini was a great movie!!!
I first heard of Mother Cabrini on the Sopranos when the Sopranos family where naming famous Italians
I used to live in Denver, and there's a shrine to Mother Cabrini in the mountains not too far from the city. I visited it once-- my wife is Catholic-- and it was worth the trip. Anyway, that's all I've got for today...
I want Angel Studios to keep doing what they're doing. I'm very interested in this movie, and I even want to pick up The Chosen sometime. Make good movies/TV shows. They don't even have to be great, and they'll still be better than the trash Hollywood keeps throwing out!
Went to see this with my daughter (she’s a big advocate for indie films) and was not expecting this! Had never heard of this lady before (altho there is a college named for her in nearby PA!) now I know why, how she is not better known with all the Women’s Month stuff every year I don’t know, nothing but sheer tenacity and will moved her to establish hospitals and orphanages around the world - all staffed and run only by women, so not quite the dreaded girl bosses but def a hugely powerful message of what can be achieved in spite of the odds. Glad you reviewed this one.
She was motivated not by sheer tenacity and will but a love for Jesus Christ and those made by Him and for Him,
@@DBz213 then that could well explain why Cabrini has been ignored by the arbiters who choose Women of the Month for posters, magazine spreads and similar coverage - genuine faith and commitment carries no value apparently.
thank you Critical Drinker......you are doing more for the world than you may realize.
Saw it in the theater against my usual judgment, and it proved to be one of the best dramas I've seen in a while. 8.5/10
FOR SOME REASON, (I think it had a little to do with the fact you stated clearly this wasn't exactly your normal 'choice' for a movie), THIS VIDEO really demonstrates, to this viewer, your solid talent as a movie critic. For what it's worth, I found everything I could hope for in a review, which is something very rare. Not even Siskel and Ebert could pull that off, and there are _TWO_ of them!!!
*In one scene she actually suffers the male gaze of a bystander without fainting*
Great of you to remind me about this film. Because of school I wasn’t able to watch the picture, I knew from the trailer it looked like a legitimate film.
Thank you Drinker.
Looks good, hopefully they'll play it in Poland.
Thank you.
I’m in this movie. It was shot in my city and I was an extra (wealthy American woman role). I bet at least half the budget was for extras, as we worked 12 hour days and mostly stood around doing nothing while on the clock. The outdoor carnival scene with the opera singer was an all night shoot (like 4 pm to 6 am) and they didn’t even tell us beforehand, which sucked, but I got paid like $760 for that one night. Multiply that by like 500 and that’s what they spent on extras on that one night alone.
Angel Studios might be getting a real foothold in the industry at this point.
They may yet fill the niche of 'biopic/historical-drama' quite well
@@Coconut-219 Heck one of last years most popular films was a biopic in Oppenheimer.
Not at all
Nooo way drinker did Cabrini, that makes me smile, I was excited for it when it came out, unlike many in the uk, I saw it on opening night with a friend and there were 3 other people in the audience which made me sad. It’s a good movie with a strong female lead who isn’t anything like the Hollywood girl boss that drinker describes, great video!
I really hope that Angel Studios and their show "The Chosen" finally get back to being in good terms. Whether they decide to part ways for distribution is yet to be seen but I like both sides very much and I wish them the best.
Just dropping a recommend for Frieren, just legit one of the best shows to come out in a while, even if youre not a fan of anime, its just so fantastic everyone should see it
Thanks for sharing!❤
It’s a pretty smart film that actually ends up being an inversion of the “mobster movie” genre. The production value is pretty impressive and there are some very impressive creative choices that are quite impactful, like when Mother Cabrini stares down the camera lens in the direction of the nuns following her when telling them that they need to see and take in the people around them and their suffering. I was pretty damn impressed with the whole production.
Added to the list :)
Drinker, as a change of pace, have you seen Tar starring Cate Blanchett? It's a slow-burn, ultra-naturalistic portrayal of Lydia Tar, former world-renown musician and head conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. It's a slow burn with Faustian undertones and a tragic fall worthy of Shakespeare. Blanchett's performance is understated but intense...your mileage may vary but as one intimately acquainted the particular demon possessing her, we can tell you her performance gave us chills. Highly recommended. We will say no more because we do not want to spoil how the filmmakers portray this particular real-life "girl boss." Like a rare Scotch whiskey, we predict you will savor and appreciate it for the care, dedication, and old-world craftsmanship that went into this thing of beauty that reached maturity in 2023.
That is really good to hear. I was cautiously optimistic for this movie, but worried that they'd just be riding off their success and the "support anything conservative" momentum to not do a great job. I'm heartened to hear it's well done, and like you said, not everything needs to reinvent the wheel. I'm looking forward to watching this one.
lead actress' breakout role was one of a mafia ringleader in 2014 italian tv show "gomorrah",you should give it a try Drinker(even if she comes into play only by season 2 if I remember correctly)
>Sound of Freedom production studio
Shit, I was already planing on going alone, now I'm definitely bringing my family with me!
I unfortunately missed this movie in the theater due to the short time it got there. But I still intend to see it, and probably will buy it on Blu-ray. I am an Angel Studios supporter.
thank you for the reccomendation
“Sound of Freedom” got their high numbers thanks to Astroturfing.
Finally, the movie about the Italian 1982 World Cup winning Juventus defender. About time too for Antonio.
Yet another entry in the "How to write a proper female character and story for dummies" book that certain studios who should no longer be named will never read
I just downloaded Angel Studios' app a while back, mostly for the Young David animated shorts (which evoke Disney better than Disney can do these days, frankly) and I'm definitely interested in supporting them more.
