Cabrini (After All, Only Love), Ep. 5 MRwOS
Dave reviews the biopic "Cabrini" about a literal saint, then plays his original take on the parable of the prodigal son, "After All, Only Love"

Welcome to Movie Reviews with Original Songs, aka MRwOS! I am your host, David Coile, and I’ll be reviewing a movie I’ve watched recently, then pair it with one of my backlog of original songs.
If you enjoy the program, I encourage you to like, follow, and share, or to support the program by subscribing to patreon.com/davidcoile.
In this episode, I’ll be reviewing the film “Cabrini” followed by a performance of my original song “After All, Only Love”
Movie: Cabrini
“Cabrini” is a beautiful love letter to its title character, played by Cristiana Dell’Anna. The movie is based on the real Mother Cabrini, who came to the U.S. in the late 19th Century and opened many missionary orphanages and hospitals across the county. This story focuses on her initial foray into the impoverished Italian sector of New York City. She faces off against an obstructionist ArchBishop (played by David Morse) and a corrupt Mayor (played by John Lithgow), who she overcomes with a savvy political instinct and an indomitable will. This movie is about a literal saint, and it’s exactly what you would expect: every frame is composed like a Renaissance painting, and Mother Cabrini is presented as an earnest and unstoppable force of nature. It’s a little too pristine for my cynical heart, but it’s a well paced, gorgeous looking film. If you like biopics about perfect heroes, this movie is for you.
Song: After All, Only Love
I’ve paired this film with my song “After All, Only Love”, which was written for the Raw Songwriting podcast, episode 21 of season 2. It was written to the prompt “A place to lay your head” and is basically about a child who returns home after a long time and is greeted with love by their family. It’s a song about unconditional love and it touches on the Biblical tale of the Prodigal Son, so I figured it would be an appropriate choice.
