CRITICS OF "The Nuns Story"

Kalamazoo Gazette

One of Audrey's finest dramatic moments

October 04, 2002

Time Out

It's still a long haul (made no lighter by Franz Waxman's abominably insistent score) for anyone not committed to theological problems of faith, conscience and obedience.

June 24, 2006

Decent Films Guide

Certainly doesn't offer the positive depiction of religious life common in 1950s Hollywood, but it's not an anti-religious or anti-Catholic depiction either.

April 12, 2006

Resource

EmanuelLevy.Com

Zinnemann's drama depicts the spiritual tug of war of a young nun, beautifully played by Audrey Hepburn, between adherence to vows of chastity and obedience and rebellion against those values for her self-fulfillment

August 23, 2006

Resource

Film4

Zinneman, an intelligent if dullish director, has avoided such obvious pitfalls in this adaptation of a factually based best-seller.

May 24, 2003

Video-Reviewmaster.com

Moving, controversial (for its time) religious tale starring Audrey Hepburn.

August 01, 2005

TV Guide

A superbly restrained piece of filmmaking, with Zinnemann directing in simple, unadorned style and Hepburn giving a truly radiant performance.

November 01, 2007

Variety

Fred Zinnemann's production is a soaring and luminous film.

New York Times

In the role of the nun, Miss Hepburn is fluent and luminous.
