Reviews
|
IndieWire -
Both introspective and entertaining, Betts never forgets that her young nuns are still teenage girls, and Novitiate rings as true as any other film about coming of age.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
Novitiate sure-handedly takes us inside the world of belief with care, concern and a piercing, discerning eye.
|
|
New York Post -
Holy moly, Melissa Leo makes a scary Mother Superior.
|
|
Wall Street Journal -
Gradually, though, it wins you over with endearing performances and a clarity of purpose. If that sounds faintly patronizing, it isn’t meant to.
|
|
The New York Times -
Ms. Betts refrains from easy, uplifting answers and facile condemnations of organized religion. Aided by Kat Westergaard’s warm, restrained cinematography, she takes the viewer close to an understanding of Cathleen’s evolving sense of her relationship with God.
