Leave your thoughts about Sister Helen.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSister Helen is a larger than life character whose good will carries this necessary documentary forward by the urgency of her mission. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[A] powerful tribute to an extraordinary woman... |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusGod bless Sister Helen Travis, with her foul mouth, black wimple… and irascible, abrasive attitude. She might be a bit crazy… but she's also the best thing that's happened to [her charges] in a long time. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoIf she hadn't become a nun late in life -- after her husband and two of her three kids met tragic deaths -- Sister Helen would have made a great Army drill instructor. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIf it weren't 100 percent true, it would be perfectly acceptable as fiction. Real life, it turns out, CAN be interesting. |
| User ReviewMauro Cgreat documentary. great lesson of fulfillment of life, and true love for those addict people must in need. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA sad but all too true commentary on addiction and resources to help those who are trying to help themselves- and some who can't. |
| User ReviewLeslie George LAs a "happy accident", I stumbled upon this on the Sundance Channel. A documentary of a Catholic nun who gets a "second chance" at life to change her community and the people around her. |
| User ReviewWalter MSister Helen personifies the term "tough love". |
| User ReviewTara TTo say that Sister Helen was not your average nun, would be an understatement. After watching this movie, one cannot help but admire her for her will, and love for those under her supervision. Sister Helen showed that love isn't just a sappy feel good thing; sometimes people need vigorous correction. |
