Sisterhood

About This Movie

So, 'Sisterhood' from 2019 dives into this fascinating realm of a group of nuns in Montreal who are really stepping out of the traditional roles. It’s a documentary, sure, but it feels more like an intimate portrait of activism and faith intertwined in a modern context. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to really absorb the conversations and the sometimes challenging themes they grapple with. There’s a rawness to the way these women articulate their beliefs and actions, which makes the narrative feel grounded. The cinematography, while simple, captures the essence of their environment beautifully. It’s not flashy but there’s a sincerity that’s hard to ignore, and that’s what makes it stand out in the sea of documentaries about activism.
