Storyline
Featured review
As a long time friend and client of Therese de Lisieux, I have read everything she wrote in three languages.. What a shame the directors didn't take the trouble to get the details right, from the wrong habits, showing lots of hair!, to men walking around in the enclosure. Yes, the police would visit the chapel where the body was found, but they would not be walking in the convent gardens talking with the nuns. Strict enclosure means what it says, and you don't get much stricter than the Discalced Carmelites. Nor would you get a single Carmelite leaving the enclosure to help out in the investigation; even in the third millenium, Carmelites in the outside world come in pairs. They never leave the enclosure unless it's for something like surgery.
I have to wonder what the nuns of Lisieux thought of the finished product, if indeed they ever saw it. To be honest, the best part for me and the person who watched the film with me was spotting actors from other TV series.
