Finding Fatima

About This Movie

Finding Fatima has this raw, earnest feel that pulls you into the lives of those three kids in 1917 Portugal. Ian Higgins captures the tension of their youthful belief and the weight of their revelations in a really understated way. It’s not flashy or over-dramatic, which is refreshing. The pacing leans into a slow burn, letting you really soak in the atmosphere of the time and the palpable fear and hope surrounding their experiences. The performances are genuine, especially the children, who manage to convey a mix of innocence and conviction. There’s something distinct about how it approaches faith without getting too preachy, focusing more on the impact it had on their lives and their community. A quiet gem for those who appreciate deeper explorations of faith and courage.
