Critic Reviews of "Novitiate"
Minneapolis Star TribuneNovember 16, 2017"Novitiate" is challenging, uncomfortable, violent, simple in its message about transformative mind control imposed on youth, superbly acted and technically flawless.
St. Louis Post-DispatchNovember 16, 2017Most films, especially mainstream ones, are about the forces that whirl around characters. "Novitiate" grapples with what's going on inside them.
Seattle TimesNovember 15, 2017In Leo, it presents a remarkable portrait of a complex woman struggling with forces beyond her control.
San Diego ReaderNovember 10, 2017[Reverend Mother Leo's] countenance alternates between a stony smile and a twisted snarl, except for the moments when the changes wrought by Vatican II threaten to loosen her iron grip over her young charges. Then she simply goes to pieces.
Philadelphia InquirerNovember 09, 2017There are times when Novitiate tests the viewer's endurance - it's a beautifully shot movie, but it runs more than two hours, and lingering compositions of silent nuns and novitiates start to feel unsupported by the story.
Arizona RepublicNovember 09, 2017The film raises interesting questions, but the answers remain elusive, and whether that makes for a compelling cinematic experience is entirely in the eye of the beholder.
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteDecember 08, 2017Novitiate is a rare film about religion that neither bludgeons a viewer into accepting an ideology nor treats believers as misguided simpletons.
Flickering MythDecember 05, 2017There's a terrific ensemble cast and strong period piece work (especially costume work of the wedding dresses representing marriage to God) at play in Novitiate
Salt Lake TribuneNovember 29, 2017Questions of faith and devotion are explored with sensitivity and grace in Novitiate, a quietly moving drama about nuns on the cusp of great change.
Cleveland Plain DealerNovember 27, 2017"Novitiate" is a thoughtful and sincere rendering of the devout religious caught up in the changing times of modern society.
Your Movies (cleveland.com)November 26, 2017First-time writer/director Maggie Betts mostly manages to involve viewers in exploring why young ladies actually might want to take the spiritual plunge.
Daily Film FixNovember 25, 2017A quiet and methodical narrative, "Novitiate" requires patience, but the reward is great.
