Saint Judy

Its a tv-movie production on people of different reasons seeking political asylum in the u.s.a.. its also a biographical flick about judy woods, an l.a. based lawyer, and her way into this trade of justice.

its a typical lawywer client judge courtroom film, that at the end ends very well, and its solely made to show that there are hope. technically its ok but no more than that.

its a film that should fit everyone who likes courtsoaps etcetera, nothing extravagant, but a good watch while waiting for your favourite show,thinks the grumpy old man.

Sensitive topic!

The film is not bad, but unfortunately it is not very good either.

It seems that there is a lack of details, depth, a more complete presentation of both the participants of the story and the events that took place.

Regardless, I give it an 8, with great respect for the real people depicted in the film as well as the countless unknowns with the same or similar situation.

I liked this. It's a bit moralistic and leans heavily to the white knight on a charger is a lady type theme. There are a few good men to be found lurking in the background, who are only good because they have been guilted in to being so. The pretty refugee who has cheesy bits around her lips, is properly doped up by the authorities until wonder woman Saint Judy comes along and saves the day. Saint Judy does this all while having no pay cheques until the very end. How on earth does she rent a house, rent an office and put food on the table? Is this the ultimate charity of strangers movie? I will admit that the story did strike me as one that is only too real and relevant and that there is injustice that is worth fighting against. Nice touch with the ending.

Certainly not worthy of the conspiracy reviewers and low ratings. It's background is a little bland, most of whatever is happening outside the politics and law seems completely unnecessary, but it's a nice little inspiration piece. The only 'agenda' that was pushed was the simple pointing out how the western world has indeed failed many people that needed asylum. It touches on issues that aren't often talked about, and quickly breaks down any xenophobic ideas with a lot of love and love good will. Gives you the warm fuzzies.

Well thought out,well dramatized story that needs to be told. Good acting by Michelle Monaghan.
