I didn't expect such a movie with a slightly heavy theme and an average age of 50+ actors to attract me so much. At first I thought this must be an amazing old lady, but she turned out to be very ordinary, even if her son is a gay high-ranking think tank, the old lady is still an ordinary Irish old lady. But Judy's performance is so good, a celebrity owes her a golden statue for playing an ordinary person so real. There is also a profound reflection on religion. Even if he has been hurt, it is not the Lord that has a problem, and the nun monastery does not represent religion itself.

    Bump and bump old and young. Its attitude towards Catholicism is quite good: the dogma has hurt the people, the church institutions are sometimes hypocritical, but it is the benevolence and mercy in the dogma that has become the creed and pillar of the old lady. The same religion can give birth to all kinds of people, which is no different from the non-believers.
