It's thrilling to watch them coming into their own.

Both inspiring and revelatory, sharing the life wisdom of its well-educated subjects and a danceable soundtrack curated by music supervisor Tracy McKnight, Rebel Hearts is a blessed and joyful movie.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 25, 2021
In spite of its form not being as compelling as its subjects, Rebel Hearts is still an inspired and inspirational recounting of a historical moment.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 25, 2021
So maybe "Rebel Hearts" is the tantalizing prelude that spurs more stories about not just the Sisters of Immaculate Heart but forgotten women everywhere who vowed to change things.

Director Pedro Kos makes lively use of archival footage and animation in "Rebel Hearts," but the stars are the women themselves.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 24, 2021
The onslaught of information certainly impresses by illuminating a rich and not-often-discussed slice of feminist history, but the execution is distractingly flashy and gratingly unfocused.

An eye-opening look at an oft-overlooked group of women who have changed what it means to selflessly serve others while also fighting for yourself.

I'd have been curious to hear more about what the sisters got up to after their resistance movement in the '60s, and I definitely wanted to hear more from the group of now-elderly but still spicy nuns sitting around dishing at their retirement center.

Rebel Hearts tells the group's story, focusing on why the nuns changed and what they risked in refusing to bend to church leadership. It's a fast-paced and fascinating story that has implications far beyond Catholicism.

The story of the women at the Immaculate Heart College will always be inspirational; it's more that Rebel Hearts struggles to take on a life of its own.

An affectionate salute to the women who were dubbed "The Pope's Unruly Flock" in one magazine headline.

Neatly threads a global feminist awakening through the very specific experience of a few defiant, no-longer-cloistered women.
