Rating: - Vow of intellectual poverty?
Though the film's underlying theme (difficult choices, such as one often faces in religious life) is valid and strong, there are very few scenes which fulfil this potential. The majority of the action and dialogue reduces the powerful situation of being a missionary nun to comic strip depictions. Sad that a film with considerable talents amongst its actors has to be this silly and poorly developed.

I remember well when the real "Singing Nun" (on whose music, not life, the film is based) was suddenly a sensation. I must admit that I now wonder if it was novelty alone which caused this. With few exceptions (Beyond the Stars' lilting melody being one), the quality of the music is poor.

This film has neither the religious impact of several classics I could mention, nor even the fun of the Trouble with Angels. I would say that it was the equivalent of "Peanuts goes to the Vatican", but that comic strip had more depth.
