Glenn Holsten's beautifully photographed and dramatically edited docu reveals that, in conventional terms, Judge, a recovering alcoholic gay man, wasn't a saint. But testimony from dozens of Judge's friends, NYFD flock and clerical colleagues, confirms his unorthodox manner and no-nonsense sense of ministry was perfectly in keeping with priestly purpose. "Saint of 9/11," set in New York and Ireland, doesn't pretend to be anything but an elegy and celebration of one life that touched many. It does what it sets out to do stylishly, affectionately and convincingly.
