Stigmata

In Brazil, a priest died and a statue of the Virgin Mary burst into tears of blood. An American tourist bought the priest's cross from a market thief and sent it as a gift to her hairdresser daughter in Pittsburgh. Along with the cross, my daughter also received tears of blood. And also holes in the wrists, cut wounds on the back and all sorts of other bodily injuries. Father Andrew Kirn (Byrne), an expert in miracles, who could not choose between the church and science, was thrown into the case. Andrew's father found a hairdresser and treated her well. And she brought the message of the Lord to him. And between the church, that is, celibacy, and science, my father chose science. What else do you choose when science takes the form of Patricia Arquette?

And I liked it so much. Whatever the appearances. The film did well at the box office in the States, but was disparaged by critics. This is a clear oversight on their part. They decided that they were watching a “mystical thriller.” A mystical thriller from “Stigmata”, but not at all. Everything seems smoky and twitchy, but not scary. But it’s incredibly beautiful. Because this is not a mystical thriller, but a big-budget representative of a genre known in film literature as T&A, or Tits & Ass, or “Tits and Ass.”

T&A, I must say, is quite brand-

new When, for example, a girl in a wet nightgown begins to bleed and scream unpleasantly in Aramaic in a man’s voice, this is not some Linda Blair from “The Exorcist”, a plump pig from 7th “B”, but Patricia - what can you add here without going into details? Her fangs are especially stunning (Patricia has natural fangs that, if I were her husband Nicholas, I would cherish and cherish and carry in my arms). One can only regret that they are inactive, and blood flows from everywhere, but not from them. I would like to wish the authors that in the sequel Patricia would be not just a messenger of God, but also a vampire. Can you imagine: bleeding vampire Patricia? You'll rock.
