What do you do when you have no doubt, that you aren't sure what you think you're sure about?
Who is god? Who is godlike? And who can judge either?
If you aren't prepared to think, go see this film because it will make you feel, instead.

Meryl Streep was absolutely incredible in her dead-on Catholic school nun with yardsticks for hands. She brilliantly balanced a cold, dogmatic persona with snippets of compassion, in her spoken and body language (so the script was good too). Phillip Seymour Hoffman, another stellar performance. But the best performance of the film, to me, was the 10 minutes or so that Viola Davis got on the screen to wow us. Unbelievable. Intense. Profound. Happy. Sad. Amy Adams was very good, as well. The film was expertly cast, period.
Just a beautiful film. Jarring. Go see it.
