Catholic Movie Of The Year--"Novitiate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                              Even if it was the ONLY Catholic film of the year, girls, it was a riot!  Margaret Betts' directorial debut tried for a serious turn at a convent transitioning into Vatican II, but Melissa Leo's over the top performance as the Mother Superior went for the jugular in ways Gladys Cooper never thought of!  Her almost vaginal sprawling in the altar scene is both a howler and a political statement.

                              The days when nun movies like "The Sound Of Music," and "Change Of Habit," are gone forever.  No more "Come To The Stable," either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               Who knows?  Perhaps a redo of "The Devils" could be in the offing??????????
