   Is novitiate a good movie?

   • A powerful, if imprecise, look at religious faith. Novitiate is that rare film when it comes to religion - a tough, honest look at faith from writer/director Margaret Betts that is both critical and respectful. Leo is one of America's great character actors, but her mother superior is written as a fairly one-dimensional villain.

   Is 'novitiate' a movie about nuns in the '60s?

   • It’s God, and her ardor is powerful enough to drive her to devote her life to Him as a nun.

It may not even sound vaguely intriguing.

   Is 'novitiate' a time of flux for the Catholic Church?
