Featured review
Brings it all back
As someone who lived this drama (unfortunately in all its aspects), I was transported back in time. The portrayal of Sister Aloysius in particular was stunningly accurate. It was a bit uncomfortable to watch only in that it rekindled those old memories, but the acting was outstanding.
