Otherworldly Vocation
Pros: Detailed presentation of nun's life. Camera tells a story well. Audrey Hepburn's best performance. Cons: Movie doesn't easily fit the standard molds, hard to classify. Bottom Line: The greatest Audrey Hepburn performance
Pros: Hepburn, Finch, locations Cons: slow and totally unquestioning of the history of particularly brutal Belgian exploitation of the Congo Bottom Line: The Nun's Story
Pros: Audrey Hepburn, Peter Finch, Story, Direction, Cinematography Cons: More need to see The Nun's Story Bottom Line: |
