   Is 'novitiate' Catholic?

   • Wherever “Novitiate” falls on the Catholic spectrum, its perspective is not a prescriptive one. Cathleen’s dedication to convent life wavers, however, as other girls are removed from the group for reasons that have little to do with their fundamental faith.

   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.
