This is an amazing movie about a very Holy Saint!!!! Can you believe that after two faulty dvds which I consider to be Satan not wanting our family to watch this movie the 3rd copy worked. As a mother of 6 I was so determined to have my children watch the story of this incredible Saint!! Movie was so well done and highlights St. Padre Pio so well. He was attached his whole life by Satan because he was so holy, so humble and so powerful against evil. My kids loved the movie!!! I do think there is a faulty batch of dvds out there so if you get one, try again. It is totally worth it!!

This is one of the best DVD on Padre Pio it reveals more of how the church came against Him .Some of his miracles are shown and most of all The stigmata is revealed here and How humble of a Man of God The Padre was and his d'isere to see the sick taken care of at the Casa for the Poor and His devoted love for the souls of men and woman.Check it out I feel its the Best.Joel D Dean

The story of Padre Pio:Between Heaven and Earth was the 1st DVD of this Saint's story that I had ever seen. I was amazed at the depth of his conviction to treat people with kindness even though they were persecuting him. His biggest complainers about his life were Catholic priests who didn't want to believe in his holiness. He treated the criticism with the ability to still treat them with respect all the while they weren't being considerate of him. The DVD is 3 hours long with English subtitles. It's a good movie.

This is, by far, the best Padre Pio drama of his life that I have seen. I was very pleased with the actor that played his part.

Michele Placido has captured the powerful spirit of Padre Pio. It is always a joy to see a good film of the Life of Padre Pio who was still alive when I studied in Italy many years ago. Would that I had been able to visit him! He had extraordinary gifts and it is not easy to play the role of this Saint, but Michele has done a great job.

Awesome video, long but worth the view, story is good, allows you to see how he suffered,what an individual. If you have a devotion to him, or even if you don't, you should watchit. So good, can be a bit slow in places but that is OK. Can cause tears. Made me realize I need to practice more patience sometimes!

I am a Catholic who has spent a great deal time in Italy and can assure you that this film gives a bad name to "b" movies. It was like a spoof on Padre Pio making him appear like a wimpy caricature of himself. The first thing you notice is that the main actor looks like the American Robert Wagner only older--and the poor viewer can't escape that thought throughout the film. For film students, this is an excellent example of poor casting, from the main characters all the way down to the minor roles. Shame on you, Ignatius Press, for hyping up this piece of bumbling amateurism and ripping off countless good-faith buyers. There were some absolutely silly moments, including a struggle with the devil which leaves the audience just hoping the fake Pio will get his katouzy kicked! Throughout the film, Padre Pio is so wimpish that the viewer soon wonders why he doesn't just stay in a fetal position the whole time. The make-up is ridiculous, even the costuming. The Franciscans have the wrong hair cuts and look like a bunch of bewildered buffoons without a spine. Another Franciscan looks like something out of one of Molière's comedies with giant, oversize black horn-rimmed eyeglasses. At one point half-way through, Padre Pio starts wearing his cintura so high--just under his armpits--that he literally looks pregnant. Imagine a Franciscan habit with an Empire waist! No Catholic, no agnostic, no one period has any business looking at this film, unless you want a really good laugh. We don't feel bad about that, since we know we are not laughing at the real Padre Pio, but a complete misrepresentation of him. You would think the film was produced by a complete atheist who didn't know a thing about the Church and who merely wanted to "cash in" on the Padre Pio industry--rather like Ignatius Press. Time to withdraw support from Ignatius Press, one of the biggest rip-off companies in the U.S.. This film shows how little the man-made religion of Vatican II has in common with Catholicism.
