John Patrick Shanley adapts his award winning play into a solid film where he can't do no wrong with the cast and crew he got to work with. The morality tale set in a catholic school in 1960's New York is about a war between an iron clad nun played ferociously by Meryl Streep and forward thinking priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who wants to bring some change to the school. Things heat up when a young and innocent nun (Amy Adams) joins the congregation. The roots of the film as play are evident and great material for actors such as this. Shanely basically stages his play on film with little room for error given the material. YRCinema's coverage of the AFI Fest 2008.
