What's The Story

Set in 1964, this story takes place at the Bronx Catholic school of St. Nicholas. Draconian principal Sister Aloysius believes that children are best ruled with an iron hand, and disapproves of the changes that kindly Father Flynn wishes to make in the school's methods. When naive Sister James begins to suspect that Father Flynn may have an inappropriate relationship with the school's first African-American student, Sister Aloysius seizes the chance to punish Flynn for his sins... whether real or imagined.

Three Good Reasons

• 1Meryl Streep can always be counted on for a tour de force, but this promises to be one of her most wry, ruthless, and riveting performances yet.
• 2The play upon which the film was based has won not only the Drama Desk and Tony Awards for Best Play, but also the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
• 3The issues raised in this thought-provoking story are just as valid today as they were forty years ago, so look forward to an intense discussion in the car on the way home.
