Movie ReviewsWarm, human, real -- all that is best about Italian film!!! mintonmedia | Beverly Hills, CA USA | 04/30/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Had I known beforehand that this was a film about a nun who finds a baby in a park, I probably would have avoided it like the plague. Yet, from this premise that promises only the worst kind of sentimentality comes the best film I've seen in years. There is sentiment, to be sure, but it is earned -- superbly so -- by the honesty and intelligence of the performances, script and direction.This film lets us spend time with ordinary, unforgettable people facing the simple, terrible problems of everyday life, first alone, and then together. It shows us that even those who think they are "not of this world" are bound to it by the humanity we share. It will make you smile in recognition and, I dare say, sniffle a bit as well." A Realistic View of Nuns mintonmedia | 07/05/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Like _The Brides of Christ_, this film gives a beautifully realistic portrayal of nuns in times of changee and crisis. The story of a middle-aged nun, and the heartache she goes through as she tries to decide when, upon finding a child, whether she has truly made the decision to forsake all earthly things in joining the convent. Without being sentimental or preachy, this film considered some of the things a man or woman who enters the church has given up, and what he/she gains by it also." Not of This World Denise Bishop | Sasebo, Japan | 07/19/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love foriegn films and this one is one of the best I have ever seen. I saw it many years ago for the first time & I have been looking to buy it for a long time. Even if you don't like reading subtitles I would recommend this film. It's touching & funny!"
