Overview
In 1964, a Catholic school nun questions a priest's ambiguous relationship with a troubled young student, suspecting him of abuse. He denies the charges, and much of the film's quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality, and authority.
As an atheist and a lover of good film I found this film interesting on so many levels. The acting and story were absolutely super. Such a shame we couldn’t have gotten another few dozen films from Seymour Hoffman. Don’t miss this film.
