美国导演玛格丽特·贝茨首部剧情长片《爱的见习生》,找来曾与名导斯派克·琼斯合拍广告而声名大噪的星二代玛格丽特·库里,饰演一名出生在无神论家庭的少女,为了成为修女而前往修道院见习,展开自我信仰的辩证,却也在压抑训诫中发觉内心骚动的欲望。玛格丽特·库里充满灵性的亮眼表现,不逊于同台飙戏的奥斯卡得主梅丽莎·里奥。影片大胆触碰宗教和同志议题,呈现超越性别的信仰与爱的真理,更赢得圣丹斯电影节评审团特别奖的赞扬。Set in the early 1960s and during the era of Vatican II, a young woman in training to become a nun struggles with issues of faith, the changing church and sexuality.
