g w The documentary made me sad from the outset. So symbolic was the birdcage with the little birds inside. William Blake once said a bird is born for joy. How can it sing its joy inside of a cage? Firstly, if you choose that life then OK that’s your business. Secondly, to cage birds because they symbolize your own constraint is really sad and cruel to another species. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review karen s Heartwarming. Hart is beyond compelling, and her story makes faith tangible. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/21 Full Review Audience Member Awesome film-I am glad Mother hart did not end up like Elvis and so many others. I understand why she left the secular world, the Abbey is lovely, and a great place to visit-anyone near bethlehem CT should go visit Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful story. Hollywood actress becomes a nun. Very tender and honest. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member So many kinds of love for the heart to follow, this shows you that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this little documentary. The twist at the end got me good! So touching.
