| User ReviewBill SThis documentary was very well done, and really offers insight to Dolores Hart story about becoming a Nun. |
| User ReviewRhett BThe story of a women who chooses to live life full of relationships with people not things, a brave choice for a women with everything the world offers available to her. |
| User ReviewSuzanne kraus MAwesome film-I am glad Mother hart did not end up like Elvis and so many others. I understand why she left the secular world, the Abbey is lovely, and a great place to visit-anyone near bethlehem CT should go visit |
| User ReviewJulie SI was surprised by how much I enjoyed this little documentary. The twist at the end got me good! So touching. |
| User ReviewLes EA beautiful story. Hollywood actress becomes a nun. Very tender and honest. |
| User ReviewSteffen WSo many kinds of love for the heart to follow, this shows you that. |
| User ReviewGregory WA fascinating short documentary about Dolores Hart, who was on the brink of Hollywood superstardom after starring in Elvis films and on Broadway, when she felt called to a monastery. She has lived as a nun since the 1960's in a progressive and empowering monastery. An interesting, but too short film, I would have liked to know more about her ex-fiancé who still loves and waits for her as well as her Hollywood life. |
| User ReviewMike CFascinating. Really cool vintage footage of the monastery, including the induction ceremonies for many of the current residents. It's tough to get a grip on exactly why these women choose to live there. They all try to explain it. I still don't really understand, but maybe that's the beauty of the film. Several of the nuns were quite "plugged in" to society before joining. They just dropped out of (what's considered to be) normal life and moved to a farm with a couple dozen other women. Now they make honey and put on musicals with the local community. Life is weird. |
| User ReviewJohn MA beautiful, quiet portrayal of actual unforced spirituality. |
