New York Post

It's said older women are all but invisible in society - and, thus, underestimated - and these righteous nuns are using that superpower to their full advantage.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

A sweeping but disorganized and sometimes monotonous exploration of the evolution of left-of-center Roman Catholic sisters in the United States since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.

A simple, yet stirring, documentary focusing on American nuns with a focus on social justice issues. It does a good job of wrapping history with social action, all while painting some delightful personal stories.
