    Having been raised in a Catholic School, this paints a pretty accurate pic of nuns -- I'm sorry she left, because she had more common sense than all the others

    I really didn't think it would be as good as it was when I first sat down to look at it. It is triumphant film for the fair lady.

    Very good story of what a Nun went through to actually become one. I wonder if they still have to do all that? NOT FUN! A little drawn out but still good--this lost out to Ben Hur for Best Picture in 1959.

    Am I the only one who finds it comical that Audrey Hepburn went from Holly from Breakfast at Tiffany's to playing a nun?

    A strong and harrowing portrayal by Hepburn. She sheds the glamorous visage of less is more make up and truly becomes the young girl struggling so hard to live a live of servitude to the lord. Only Audrey could still come off as such an ethereal beauty in a nun's outfit. Her inner doubts of self causes her to question her worthiness of being a nun. Over several years the ordeal becomes emotionally, spiritually, and physically demanding. It is quite a journey and the last scene is both poignant and painfully true.

    Not as popular as some other Hepburn films and the clothing is not nearly as couture. But she still fills the screen with her sensitivity and boldness.

    i loved it! audey in her finest role! it's a big change because before this (well, there was always going to be breakfast at tiffanys but whatever) she was always stuck in those 'chic' type roles. in this she's something entirely different. if you're expecting another holly golightly, steer clear of this. it's a very slow movie, and quite long to my recolection. i sat watching it on christmas eve. for the first half hour i was wondering why i'd ever switched it on. then it started to get good, and i found myself entranced and waiting to find out what happened next. i urge you to see this! audrey is excellent.

    Lovely film telling the story of nun Audrey Hepburn, her work in the Belgian Congo, her doubts and her eventual decision about her future as a nun. The setting and characters are engaging, and Hepburn is excellent under her wimple! Crusty old Peter Finch is also good.

    Well, if you're interested in "a nun's story," this film tells you a lot about it. The story was about a nun's struggle with herself. I'd say it was "interesting" yet not quite fabulous.

    Very good acting from Audrey, who can't rely on glamour or her amazing beauty to get through this movie as she spends most of it in costume. Not a pop-corn entertainer, and certainly not a chick flick. Very well directed by Fred Zinnemann.
