(1991) N/A (N/A) (0) http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117900926.html?categoryid=31&cs=1 * * * * "See my profile for the key to this code" * * * * SYNOPSIS: "A thoughtful, concerned account of fictional Roman Catholic nuns and their boarding school during the 1960s, "Brides of Christ" explores the issues of church restrictions and reverential joy in its six-hour, three-episode journey. Behind convent walls, six remarkable women are caught between centuries old tradition and the radical changes reshaping society in the 1960's. In their care are spirited teenagers eager to experience newfound freedoms of their generation." CONSENSUS: "If the 1991 "Brides" is not the whizbang exploitation series suggested by a warning about "adult themes," it's at least a serious attempt, if not a riveting one, to explore a special world. For alternative programming during the dog days of network TV, it's a winner." MOTIVATION FOR ME TO SEE: Since seeing Meryl Streep in "Doubt" (2008) (11 Apr 09 listing), I must have been subconsciously wanting to find out more about nuns, and lo and behold, here it is!
