Sacrifice that's all they ask of youI'm not always understanding of religious terror delivered from the top down, but this film made it easier. Ancient rituals best left in the past where the public wasn't as enlightened as it is today. This film helps clear the air in a strange way. I found myself not surprised but a little saddened that giving more freedom to women but not freeing them is always sad. The acting in this movie is special and the script uplifting considering the story being told! Loved it!.ImaginationScore: 5/5
?The acting is great!
the casting was very good.
writing pure “fiction”, without integrity
why put this much effort in to a movie without studying history..Boll WeevillScore: 3/5
Excellent insight into the church and becoming a nun.That was an excellent movie! It was really well done in that it told the story of being a nun from the perspective of not just a novice but from that of experienced nuns of varying levels as well. Unfortunately, the catholic church always finds a way to disappoint just as they did in the cases of these nuns..BionicsurferScore: 5/5

Wow, wow, wowThis was an absolutely fantastic film. I can’t stop thinking about it; there are so many complex layers to it. I’m aghast that it didn’t receive any Oscar nominations—Melissa Leo, Margaret Qualley, and Maggie Betts deserved to be nominated. Melissa Leo terrified me (as she should have) and Margaret Qualley’s confession scene towards the end was some of the best acting that I have ever seen. It’s hard to believe that this is Maggie Betts’ first film; I’m excited to see what she does next. (It was refreshing to watch a female-led film that was completely devoid of the male gaze. Thank you, Maggie.).InsyzygyScore: 5/5

Français Au début des années 1960, une jeune femme qui va devenir nonne commence à remettre son éducation catholique en question.
Türkçe 1960’lı yılların başlarında, İkinci Vatikan Konsili döneminde geçen filmde, genç bir kadın olan Rahibe Cathleen’in inanç ve kişisel özgürlük çatışmasına tanık olunacak. Rahibe Cathleen (Margaret Qualley), hemşire olmak için eğitim almış ve kendini Tanrı’ya adamıştır. Ancak bir süre sonra din konusunda kafası karışır ve kendi içinde cinsel kimlik ve din değiştirme gibi katı sınırları olan meseleler içinde boğulmaya başlar.
Pусский В начале 60-х, во время проведения Второго ватиканского совета, молодая послушница изо всех сил старается справиться с проблемами веры, с изменениями в церкви и с собственной сексуальностью.
Español A mediados de los años 60, la joven de 17 años Cathleen, criada por una madre soltera no religiosa en una zona rural de Tennessee, decide ser una sierva de Dios, pero durante su noviciado comienza a cuestionar su fe católica mientras recibe la formación para convertirse en monja.
ελληνικά Έτος 1964 η επτάχρονη Κάθλιν Χάρις ωθείται στον καθολικισμό, υπό την πίεση της αγνωστικίστριας μητέρας της. Στα 12α της, η ντροπαλή και σιωπηλή κοπέλα δέχεται την υποτροφία ενός νεοσύστατου καθολικού σχολείου, όπου εκεί ισχυρίστηκε ότι ένιωσε την παρουσία του Θεού. Στα 17ά της, και παρά τους φόβους της μητέρα της, φανερώνει την κλίση της να γίνει καλόγρια, ισχυριζόμενη ότι έχει κερδίσει το θρησκευτικό κάλεσμα. Έτσι, θα βρεθεί σε καθολική μονή ως δόκιμη, υπό την εποπτεία της ηγουμένης μητέρας. Θα γνωρίσει τις αδελφές Έβελιν, Έμιλι και Μάργκαρετ, όπου και οι τρεις υποφέρουν από σεξουαλικές ορμές, κατά τη διάρκεια του καθαγιασμού. Την ίδια ώρα, η ηγουμένη μητέρα τρομάζει από τις προγραμματισμένες μεταρρυθμίσεις του δεύτερου συμβουλίου του Βατικανού, φοβούμενη ότι θα χάσει την εξουσία στη μονή. Ανήμπορες να υπομείνουν τη σκληρότητα της ηγουμένης, οι περισσότερες από τις μοναχές ξεσηκώνονται. Αυτή θα είναι η μεγάλη δοκιμασία για την Κάθλιν, όσον αφορά την πίστη της.
Polski Choć w swoim pełnometrażowym debiucie Maggie Betts przygląda się zmianom, które wstrząsnęły Kościołem katolickim po II soborze watykańskim, jej film nie stanowi lekcji historii. W Nowicjacie opowiada w gruncie rzeczy o zakochanych kobietach. Zakochanych w… Jezusie - tak jak nieśmiała nowicjuszka Cathleen (Margaret Qualley), którą wyjątkowo silna - jak to zwykle u nastolatek - miłość do Boga skłania do wstąpienia do klasztoru. Pomimo oporów nierozumiejącej jej religijnej fascynacji matki i rewolucji obyczajowej zachodzącej społeczeństwie Cathleen postanawia wkroczyć w świat zupełnie ignorujący upływ czasu. Pod okiem surowej matki przełożonej (Melissa Leo), za nic mającej plany papieża Jana XXIII, który dąży do unowocześnienia skostniałej instytucji, uczy się życia w związku z kimś, kto nigdy nie odpowiada na prośby. Opowieść o uczuciu, które wiele wymaga, ale często nie ofiaruje nic w zamian.

Deutsch Ein junges Mädchen macht ihre ersten Erfahrungen mit der Liebe – in ihrem Fall zu Gott. Sie wird von ihrer Mutter im ländlichen Tennessee Mitte der 1950er-Jahre nicht sonderlich religiös erzogen. Mithilfe eines Stipendiums kann Cathleen auf eine katholische Schule gehen und wird dort von dem geheimnisvollen und romantischen Gedanken, ihr Leben Gott zu weihen, angezogen. Als aus der Postulantin langsam eine Novizin wird, muss sie sich oft der herben und unmenschlichen Realität, eine Dienerin Gottes zu sein, stellen, wobei Ihr Glaube oft auf die Probe gestellt wird. Zu Beginn des zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils ringt Cathleen mit ihrem Glauben an Gott, Fragen zur Sexualität und radikalen Veränderungen in der Kirche, die das Leben der Nonnen beeinflussen könnten.
български език Развивайки се в десетилетието между началото на 50-е и средата на 60-е години, филмът разказва за първата любов на младо момиче. В този случай, първата ѝ любов е Бог. Отгледана от нерелигиозна вдовица в провинцията на Тенеси, Катлийн печели стипендия за католическо училище, благодарение на която се увлича в мистерията и романтизма на живот, посветен на преклонение и служба на Бог. Радикалните промени, сполетели организираната християнска вяра, вследствие на Втория ватикански събор, заплашват живота на девиците. Катлийн се бори с проблемите на вярата, сексуалността и променящата се администрация. В прехода си от послушница към чирак, тя се изправя пред суровата, често антихуманна действителност, свързана с живота, посветен на Бог.

Português No início da década de 1960, à altura do Concílio Vaticano II, a jovem Cathleen decide se tornar freira, para espanto de sua mãe agnóstica. No convento, ela se vê em um ambiente dominado pela devoção e pelas estritas regras da madre superiora. Uma história de amadurecimento tendo como pano de fundo as radicais mudanças da igreja católica à época, o filme retrata um grupo de mulheres e suas autodescobertas de fé e de paixão para além da religião.

Magyar Az 1950-es évek elejétől a 60-as évek közepéig több mint egy évtizedet felölelő film egy fiatal lány első beavatásáról szól a szerelembe, vagyis az ő esetében Istenbe. Cathleent egy nem vallásos, egyedülálló anya nevelte fel Tennessee-ben, majd a lány a katolikus iskolába járó ösztöndíj után hamarosan belecsöppent az Isten szolgálatának szentelt élet misztériumába. A második vatikáni zsinattal beköszöntő új korszak az egyházban gyökeres változásokat hoz, és mire Cathleen a képzés novíciusi szakaszába ér, úgy találja, hogy hite többször szembekerül Isten szolgájának durva, gyakran embertelen valóságával, ami rá vár apácaként, és sok mindent megkérdőjelez. Cathleennek meg kell birkóznia a hittel, a szexualitással és az egyház életében a közelmúltban bekövetkezett változásokkal.

When 28-year-old Mutinta Mweemba first shares all the hopes and dreams she once nurtured as a child, her aspirations seem no different from those of many other young women around the world. She dreams of meeting and falling in love with a handsome man, being married and raising children and hopefully one day providing those children with a better life than her own. But Mutinta's dreams were never realized. Her soft-spoken husband came with two other wives, and the remote Zambian village that she calls home is being ravaged by a deadly new epidemic - a mysterious disease called “AIDS.” Set against the backdrop of today's most urgent plague, Maggie Betts's The Carrier is a stunning portrait of both a family and a community caught in a desperate struggle to emancipate their next generation from AIDS. As all the adults in her marriage, including Mutinta, soon discover that they are afflicted with HIV, tensions within the household threaten to tear her family apart and the fragile love between a husband and wife finds itself challenged. All the while Mutinta also learns that she's become pregnant again, her quest to the save her baby from her disease, becomes the family's last hope for redemption. In its breathtaking visuals and unique lyrical style, The Carrier is a story of hope and renewal, of love and dignity, told through the eyes of an increasingly determined young heroine who refuses to be overwhelmed by the forces that surround her. It is an inspiring and emotional testament to today's modern Africa and proud people struggling not only to understand and make sense of, but also persevere and overcome what has happened to their world.
