Three stellar actors make this religious mystery a fine film. Gabriel Byrne, Patricia Arquette and Johnathan Pryce weave a tale of conspiracy, possession and mystery revolving around the notion of stigmata, or the wounds of Christ upon his crucification appearing on other people.
The story centers on Frankie Paige (Arquette), a modern girl with a party attitude in the big city. She has the everyday problems of all of us until one night upon taking a bath. From that eventful night, the stigmata gradually start appearing upon her body and she takes on the characteristics of another person. Gabriel Byrne is the priest sent by the Catholic church to investigate her traumatic experience and the real mystery begins to unfold. Johnathan Pryce plays the cardinal and Byrne's boss, and plays his role to a tee.
A smart mystery with a supernatural spin. Highly recommended to anyone wanting something a little flavorful in their thrillers.
