About

An awkward, ninth grade Catholic school boy believes a miracle can save his mother's life and having been told his winning the Boston Marathon would be "a miracle," Ralph begins training to win the famed race. Only after seeing his resolve and temerity, a conflicted Father Hibbert (Campbell Scott) trains the boy through his triumphant win at a local race and prepares him for the ultimate challenge.

Reviews

"This low-budget Canadian-made film doesn't stoop to Hollywood clichés and formulaic plot devices. Saint Ralph keeps you guessing rather than forcing a predictable resolution."
Claudia Puig, USA Today
"Saint Ralph' remains surprisingly compelling as it follows the misadventures of a young long-distance runner in Hamilton, Ontario during the early 1950s."
Joe Leydon, Variety
