Fatima is extraordinarily powerful and moving, definitely a presentation of historical events that will bring believers closer to God and faith. This may seem like your typical but true story of the children being right and the grown-ups not believing them, but it's very affecting, uplifting and well-constructed in depicting the events of young shepherds who meet the Virgin Mary.
The three young child characters enrolled by under-noticed and talented actors are definitely the stars of the movie. Other than the brilliant cinematography and the beautiful shots from the work of masterful director Marco Pontecorvo, the performances from the leading cast are extremely memorable.
Fatima's execution is utterly astounding, which is honestly a fair surprise considering it's foreseeable that the screenplay is actually kind of weak. Somehow, the cast's performances and Pontecorvo's direction heightened the impact of the film and lead it to be more compelling. If it weren't for the final result, Fatima probably would've failed.
