A cloistered nun and a wild lingerie model switch places because of the very American phenomenon of inaccessible health care. On the surface, the story line doesn't do anything unpredictable with this setup. But underneath, there's a deeper story about abuse and the choices people make to cope with the past.
The film is redolent with meaning and commentary. The most obvious being exploration of the bifurcation of female identity into the "good" and chaste, and the "bad" and promiscuous. The film puts on America's status quo moral and societal allegorical trappings in order to subvert them. The fact that the film hits predictable and expected notes heightens the effect.
Sister Mary's Angel is a thought-provoking and worthwhile watch.
