Rating: It was alright...


This movie starring Meryl Streep (15 Oscar nominations!), Amy Adams, Patrick Seymour Hoffman, and Viola Davis is based on the Pulitzer prize winning play. The movie has 5 Oscar nominations including Best Actress for Meryl Streep, Best Supporting Actor for Patrick Seymour Hoffman, Best Supporting Actress for Amy Adams and Viola Davis and Best Adapted Screenplay. Unfortunately, it didn't win any of the nominations.

Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) is really stern, so stern that whenever she walks into a room, all the students sit up straight and stop what they are doing. Sister James (Amy Adams) is the total opposite of Sister Aloysius because she is much less stern, not as religious, and seems to be more relaxed. So is Father Flynn (Patrick Seymour Hoffman)with a slight sense of humor, especially to one student.

It is very outrageous that they *spoiler* obsess over one of the students drinking altar wine during a sermon and they blame Father Flynn, talk to the student and call his mother over to the office to discuss this situation. Sister Aloysius is kind of conservative while the two aren't.

So...this movie is okay, you may be able to see why it didn't get the nominations.
