   I saw Novitiate this weekend. I didn't expect too much, I just knew that it was well-reviewed (87% on Rotten Tomatoes) and that it has a great performance by Melissa Leo. It was an excellent film, and this is coming from someone who is not deeply religious.

   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. Writer/director Margaret Betts explores this mystical passion in “Novitiate,” her thematically ambitious, technically-precise feature debut. A movie about nuns in the ’60s may not sound exciting. It may not even sound vaguely intriguing.

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

   • It’s a time of flux for the Catholic Church, though. “Novitiate” takes place just as the changes of Vatican II are going into effect throughout the world—radical, liberal shifts in ideology that are meant to foster openness and inclusiveness, but which fly in the face of hard-liners’ long-held beliefs and practices.
