1964. Cathleen Harris, in her late teens, has resided at the Convent of the Beloved Rose in her home state in the American south for close to two years, first as a postulant for six months, before taking her first vows to become a novice. Unlike the other postulants and novices, Sister Cathleen was raised in a household without religion, let alone Catholicism. As such, her decision to become a nun, which went against her divorced mother's wishes, may be more secure in her mind than her colleagues for which this life course may be more bred within them. The convent is led by the Mother Abbess, Reverend Mother Marie Saint Clare, whose entire life is this convent off of where she not stepped foot in forty years. Reverend Mother believes she is the voice of God within the walls of the convent, and thus does not tolerate any of the sisters questioning her authority. She also believes that the Catholicism which she has known all her life is perfect. When she receives an edict regarding the ...

THATS RETARDED
I was so impressed with this movie! Not even that religious myself, it had an interesting enough story to pull me in and told it very honestly, fair and balanced without too much judgment on Catholicism in the 1960s. As I like to say “question everything”... Margaret Qualley, Julianne Nicholson, Melissa Leo and the rest of the cast of postulants were superb. - @Sunday, August 5, 2018 12:14 PM

An absolute gem of a movie. Not only the story of a young girl trying to become a nun (which is interesting in itself) but raises the question to what extent the changes recommended by Vatican II were inadvertently harmful to the very basis of monastic life. The Mother Superior's methods seem harsh, old-fashioned. She's vain, overbearing, not at all "Christian-like". Yet the older nuns represent a strong, interconnected, distinct community and this cohesiveness was threatened by the liberalizing attitudes of the 1960's. Cathleen's path was left hanging at the end so there's lots of possible story lines to follow in a sequel. - @Tuesday, May 15, 2018 4:00 PM

I conventi di clausura erano delle vere prigioni. Penso che più di una suora siano diventate pazze lì dentro. Si può amare Dio senza essere suora o prete. - @Monday, April 16, 2018 1:11 PM

I wish that some ex-nuns would respond to this movie, instead of mostly Catholics or ex-Catholics who think they knew what went on behind the closed doors of the convents. This was a cloistered community (they never left the grounds and seldom spoke). I was a nun in an active community during this historical time. Some of what was portrayed in this movie is true and did happen in some convents, other things I can’t even imagining happening like the scenes of the young women dancing around an outdoor fire with the bridal gowns on. But the reluctance of the Mother Superior to react positively to the changes brought forth by the Vatican Council and her reluctance to educate the other nuns about it was true in the community I belonged to, as well. Several nuns left our community because they embraced the changes and the community did not. The discipline or flagellation wasn’t practiced in many communities in this century, but had been practiced in the far past, but more often by brothers. Read books and stories by ex- nuns and you’ll find some similarities to this movie. - @Friday, December 15, 2017 3:55 AM

does anyone know when we will be able to watch this movie? thank you - @Thursday, November 23, 2017 7:13 PM

Perhaps all involved with this film should have done a little research before filming. Inaccuracies and exaggerations are too numerous to count. This film is tantamount to the Library of Congress asking someone to give a public lecture on Dickens whose only knowledge of Dickens is reading a "Christmas Carol" every December. - @Wednesday, November 22, 2017 10:07 PM

Looks stupid. And naturally, blazingly a mischaracterization of convent life just by going by the trailer. One thing, I don’t think i could stand to listen to the modulated voice for an hour and 1/2. What a waste. Junk. - @Monday, November 13, 2017 10:20 AM
