Twelve-year-old Donald Miller (Joseph Foster) breaks the color barrier at the traditional Italian/Irish Catholic school in the Bronx in 1984. Young Sister James (Amy Adams) shares with the domineering head of the school, Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) that perhaps parish priest Father Brendan Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is spending too much private time with young Donald.
Sister Aloysius jumps to the conclusion that something very inappropriate is going on and she goes after Father Flynn with a vengence.
Also appearing is Viola Davis as Donald's mother.
Play, screenplay and directed by John Patrick Shanley.
Run time: 1 hour, 44 minutes
Rated PG-13 for thematic material.
My personal rating: B
