Aimee Semple McPherson (film)


Aimee Semple McPherson 2006 is a feature length dramatic biopic about evangelist Sister Aimee Semple McPherson.

According to Christianity Today, the film goes much deeper than previous portrayals of McPherson, including The Disappearance of Aimee, a 1970s television movie starring Faye Dunaway and Rossis own 37minute 2001 documentary film Saving Sister Aimee.Christianity Today praised the film, saying Rossi gives insight into the emotional dysfunction arising from Pentecostalisms adulation of flawed and charismatic leaders...the film veers into psychohistory and reflects the psyche of the writerdirector. The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, the Pentecostal denomination Sister Aimee founded, released a press statement that they do not endorse the film because of Rossis exploration of McPhersons personal struggles like those were somehow irrelevant to her as a person. VideoHounds Movie Retriever gave it two stars out of four. ........
