Brides of Christ sounds like a modest miniseries about the lives of nuns in an Australian convent and girls' school in the 1960s. But within that simple summary are astonishing stories, both in the rich personal lives of the nuns and the cultural shifts at work as the Catholic Church struggled to bring itself into the modern age. Over six hourlong episodes, Brides of Christ focuses on six women: Sister Ambrose (Sandy Gore), the Mother Superior of Santo Spirito, whose gentle leadership goes astray when the school hires a male teacher; Sister Agnes (Brenda Fricker, My Left Foot), a conservative nun who resists the modernizing changes dictated by the Vatican; Sister Paul (Lisa Hensley), an uncomplicated but devoted young nun who leaves the sisterhood when she falls in love; Frances (a young Naomi Watts, Mulholland Drive, 21 Grams), a student whose parents are undergoing divorce; Rosemary (Kym Wilson), a rebellious girl who fights against the sexual repression of the church; and woven through it all, Sister Catherine (Josephine Byrnes), an independent-thinking nun whose craving for reform puts her at odds with her superiors.

Brides of Christ balances respect and empathy with a critical social perspective, always channeled through these superbly realized women. The smart and deeply felt scripts are given dynamic life by uniformly beautiful performances (also appearing is a pre-stardom Russell Crowe). An absolutely fantastic miniseries that can't be recommended strongly enough. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Brides of Christ (Convent Sisters Cover)

Outstanding Production
Brides of Christ is one of the best Mini Series on the Catholic Church ever made. Set in Australia around the time of Vatican II, it shows the effects the changes Vatican II unleashed and how individuals in and out of the church reacted to these changes. The entire cast is nothing but talent. Irish actress Brenda Fricker is perfectly cast as sister Agnes the hard-line old guard nun and Josephine Byrnes is the perfect rebel nun. You will also be treated to early performances by a young Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe. But Fricker and Byrnes together steal the whole mini series. You must own this Mini Series for your collection !


OUSTANDING MINI-SERIES
Mini Series of this calibre come along only once in a blue moon. I first saw this Mini Series when it debuted on A&E in 1991 and have been in love with it ever since. The Brides of Christ provides the novice with an insider's view of the turmoil that hit the Catholic church after Vatican II. I love Australia and Australians and one of the high points of the Brides of Christ is it takes place in Australia from 1963-1973. The entire cast is nothing but talent, Brenda Fricker is superbly cast as the ulitmate authority figure / conservitive nun while American actress Josephine Byrnes , who does an amazing job of playing an Australian, is perfect for the role as the rebel nun. This Mini series is a must for your video collection.
