10/10
Best mini-series of the 1990s
4 February 2011
Brides of Christ did for mini-series of the 1990s what Tenko did for the same in the 1980s. My wife and I have watched the series several times and it has left us moved on each occasion. It's a great narrative of Vatican II, a story in which liberal and traditional collide, but which reveals that Christian love and charity can prevail where a foundation of faith is to be found.

Mother Ambrose is the epitome of wisdom, Sisters Catherine and Paul are a beacon of friendship, Sister Agnes provides a solid baseline without which the other arguments would be rudderless, while Bridget, Rosemary and Frances supply the sort of youthful passion that is full of innocence and truth.

A superb cast including early outings for Messrs Russell Crowe and Naomi Watts.
