Meryl Streep is master. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is her bitch. Great, great presentation in all aspects.
Not quite understanding nor comprehending this debate, but lets please have a discussion.
I tend to have a very severe and unambiguous view of what is right and what is wrong. It is wrong to have a relationship with a minor, but what is minor? It is right to speak up, expose and act against what you deem to be wrong, but is your definition of wrong, right?
The movie was dedicated to a Sister Margaret McEntee, so if this is somehow, reflecting a story that may be true, then this is not a philosophical debate, I would have to, unambiguously, support the actions of the nun. BUT, if this is hypothesis, my feelings would remain clouded, especially, given the boy’s situation at home, positive role model and all that.
This is a significant movie, watch it and ruminate.
Out on DVD, and it gets 4 spoons.
