Zinneman, an intelligent if dullish director, has avoided such obvious pitfalls in this adaptation of a factually based best-seller.June 24, 2006
It's still a long haul (made no lighter by Franz Waxman's abominably insistent score) for anyone not committed to theological problems of faith, conscience and obedience.August 23, 2006
Zinnemann's drama depicts the spiritual tug of war of a young nun, beautifully played by Audrey Hepburn, between adherence to vows of chastity and obedience and rebellion against those values for her self-fulfillmentOctober 04, 2002
One of Audrey's finest dramatic momentsApril 12, 2006
Certainly doesn't offer the positive depiction of religious life common in 1950s Hollywood, but it's not an anti-religious or anti-Catholic depiction either.November 01, 2007
Fred Zinnemann's production is a soaring and luminous film.May 20, 2003
In the role of the nun, Miss Hepburn is fluent and luminous.August 01, 2005
Moving, controversial (for its time) religious tale starring Audrey Hepburn.November 01, 2007
