 Deeply Moving Reminder of What Others Suffer Around UsMay 16, 2008
By Anne Rice
"Anne Rice"
Raul Julia's performance is deeply moving and perhaps unforgettable as the Archbishop Romero whose assassination shocked the world. ---- This film is a brutal yet beautifully done reminder of what people have suffered and are suffering in other countries, people who do not have the daily blessings we enjoy in the United States. ---- The political issues are obviously complex, and the controversy about "liberation theology" goes on, but the story of this one man, so well adapted here, is something that we should face. The film moves slowly, yet gracefully. It is starkly realistic and at times raw and chilling, and overwhelming. The faith of Romero, his transformation in the face of the suffering he witnesses, is an inspiration. ---- The film can make one very uncomfortable for giving us a view of a world we would like to put out of our thoughts, either because we feel helpless or we simply don't want to accept how good our lives are here, and how much has to be done for the world's poor and the world's oppressed. This is very strong, this material, and it is worth seeing for Julia's performance alone. It should move us to action, even if action is no more than a small donation for the poor. The film has left me deeply troubled, but better for having seen it.

a moving witnessNov 30, 2007
By M. VanEtten
"nose-in-a-book"
The previous reviewer missed a large part of the point of this film. Archbishop Oscar Romero was among dozens of Catholic priests, religious and lay people murdered or tortured for their Gospel witness of support for the poor. The greed of the wealthy is the prime villain in the peice--and the repeated comment that "we want to live like the North Americans" helps viewers to understand what inspires that greed.
Church prelates were on both sides of the conflict, and Romero himself came to his position as a result of becoming archbishop and seeing first hand the terrible suffering of the poor because of the civil war in El Savlator. An inspiring portrait of the witness that is still being carried out by martyrs like last year's Sister Dorothy Stang--who, like Romero, was murdered for her stand in solidarity with the poor.

The most powerful movie I've ever seenOct 21, 2008
By M. Brooks
I'm not Latin, or Catholic, or poor or privileged, so I watched this as a complete outsider. The late Raul Julia was astonishing as Oscar Romero and there's no other word for it. His conversion from the bookish don't-make-waves bishop to the fighter for the poor and repressed is utterly believable and unforgettable in its power and conviction. Every supporting actor in this film, from the late Richard Jordan as the priest whose murder begins Romero's conversion to Tony Plana as the priest turned guerilla who completes it, seems equally devoted to seeing that this story is told exceedingly well. I will never forget this film.

"Romero" ShinesApr 20, 2009
By C. Schaffer
This movie is excellent as both an educational tool concerning political and economic realities in El Salvador in the years surrounding 1980, and a dramatic biography giving insight into the development of Oscar Romero's thought and faith. It requires patience to watch, but rewards the viewer with valuable insights.
