This is what Dianna Agron's Novitiate character, Sister Mary Grace, goes through: a reckoning so profound that it might upturn everything she's achieved so far. Serene on the outside, but troubled on the inside, when a new group of young women enter her care, she begins to question the convent's methods and what she really wants from life.
While speaking with Elle the actress shared,
I transferred it to other times in my life, where I had to double check I was going down the right path, and not getting myself too deep into something that didn?t feel authentic.
It?s interesting because?especially for the young woman who has committed herself to this way of life so early on?I thought about how often I'm hugged or kissed, or my hand is held. Just varying levels of physical affection. To not have that at all, it was so hard to imagine that.
