Synopsis

1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A charismatic priest, Father Flynn, is trying to upend the school’s strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James, a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequences. —IMDb

Roger deakins can make even the most uninteresting film look like gold. Forget streep..Deakins is the only star in this one.

The acting was great, the ending even better. I think that it would have been a better film in the hands of a different director, nothing wrong with Shanley's film; but there was no opportunity for the film to be subjected to any other creative direction/vision, which I think is a shame.

Meryl Streep's acting was perfect. Different from something I would usually watch, the last few lines of the movie had some impact on me.

I did not understand why there was a rather sentimental mood at times. This story is not exactly one that is light-hearted for viewers. My thoughts are in halves: that this film should be more hard…  read review

Seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Merryl Streep go at it (fighting-wise) in a scene together was enough to make my head explode. Excellent, excellent cast — though I wish Amy Adams would branch out…  read review
