Reactions from the web

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.

I loved it. If you have a longing for God/love/spiritual community, this movie will touch you.
