The Nun's Story Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
In the role of the nun, Miss Hepburn is fluent and luminous.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Zinnemann's drama depicts the spiritual tug of war of a young nun, beautifully played by Audrey Hepburn, between adherence to vows of chastity and obedience and rebellion against those values for her self-fulfillment
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
... on target and godlike.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Certainly doesn't offer the positive depiction of religious life common in 1950s Hollywood, but it's not an anti-religious or anti-Catholic depiction either.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Moving, controversial (for its time) religious tale starring Audrey Hepburn.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
One of Audrey's finest dramatic moments
Variety
Variety Staff
Fred Zinnemann's production is a soaring and luminous film.
The New Leader
Manny Farber
When the plot turns up, Zinnemann reduces each heroism to kernel size and then resumes his tasteful but rather insipid documentation.
The Catholic World
Moira Walsh
[Conveys] a profound and moving insight into the total self-sacrifice and tough-fibred holiness of convent life. Moreover it clothes these insights in striking dramatic terms which can hardly fail to absorb and edify the believer and the unbeliever alike.
TV Guide
A superbly restrained piece of filmmaking, with Zinnemann directing in simple, unadorned style and Hepburn giving a truly radiant performance.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Sister Luke's crisis of conscience dovetails neatly with her blood-sweat-and-tears ordeals to produce a truly fascinating film.
