Good movie, really authentic. Being a nun is tough. It was really hard for me to watch this. It made me sad how they treated young nuns. Reverend Mother was disgusting for me at least, could not stand what she did. If this movie is based on 100% true stories, than I hope that the nuns everyday life is way better nowdays. Evil's temptation is always there and will be.

Novitiate is a realistic and fairly interesting insight into how women become nuns, it also provides a brief but worthwhile look at the overall structure and dealings of the catholic church. As a catholic myself i learned a lot of new facts from this movie. The sexual undertones are handled well and it doesn't feel like softcore porn. By the end, i felt genuine emotions for the main character which is something i rarely do in romantic films.

This is a brutal look at the novitiate in a conservative abbey in the 60s before the sweeping reforms of Vatican II. It was very difficult to watch the struggle of the community to pursue the love of God while being robbed of the love of loving and being loved. There were a many things to think about. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama]
