Jane Fonda portrays Dr. Livingston, a psychiatrist who is called in as part of the investigation when a dead infant is found at a convent. The child is found to belong to solemn, naive Sister Agnes (Meg Tilly), who offers little in the information about who the father is or why she committed the crime. The Mother Superior (Anne Bancroft) is willing to help in the investigation anyway she can, but when the idea of a virgin birth is suggested, the agnostic Dr. Livingston finds herself in a heated dialogue pitting faith against science. The screenplay was written by the author of the original stage play, John Pielmeier. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Actress--Anne Bancroft. [More]

Hysterical pseudo-religious melodrama that despite good acting from Anne Bancroft and Meg Tilly is too stagey and verbose for the bigscreen

Deadly - despite good work from Meg Tilly, the film is grotesquely directed and the spiritual debate is sensationalized beyond all reason.

Well-acted and soul-stirring drama about miracles and the clash between reason and faith.

A handful of darn solid performances are mired in a tiresome and muddled narrative.
