Amazing true story of a Catholic Nun who spent her life helping convicted felons. Sr. Jean was taken in by this convict, well portrayed by Sean Penn in his best acting ever, yet she never gave up on future other real convicts in real life. Her kindness and understanding has turned many convicts around to lead productive lives after release. She is against the death penalty not only for her own Catholic beliefs, but because of the amazing number of death sentance convicts that have been released after DNA was introduced and absolutely proved that they were not involved in the crime. I would watch it first then decide to show to chikdren. It has values, but might be misunderstood or scary to kids, it is very real prison life and futile attemps to get out of prison.
Both Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon delivered Oscar-worthy performances of this tale of death row living and ultimate redemption. This tale addresses a man's guilt in a double murdur as he struggles to eventually take responsibility for his actions. Sarandon supplies a loving yet level-headed performance as a Spiritual advisor. This film should be remembered for the gripping and painful testimony and memories of the family members who experienced this tragic murdur and their ongoing quest for the truth. But Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon's gripping performances set this film apart from other stories reflecting a similar genre.
Based on a true story, examines the role of faith in facing death.
