A coming of ager in a nunnery best describes Noviate

A coming of ager in a nunnery??? In a nutshell, that\u2019s the gist of the new film \u201cNovitiate\u201d , which, trust me, Melissa Leo WILL be Oscar-nominated as the Mother Superior. Writer/director Maggie Betts joins me. It\u2019s set in the late 50\u2019s/early 60\u2019s as the Catholic Church was undergoing a sea change. Margaret Qualley of \u201cThe Leftovers\u201d stars. Julianne Nicholson (\u201cBoardwalk Empire\u201d) plays her mom.
