Twistin ● 30th Nov 2015		Rated 7/10 The best part about Lilies of the Field is that while you watch and expect certain contrivances to occur in the story, the select times those scenes unfold, they're portrayed respectfully as far as the film-making process is concerned. The cinematography and lighting are better than competent, and the frame is used to maximum effect. Sidney Poitier is, of course, solid as the surprise guest to a group of East German refugee nuns in a largely Hispanic community somewhere in Arizona. There are occasional nods to race and religion, but in both cases the subjects are never used as a weapon for the film to drill down an emotional response from the viewer, yet they effectively anchor the heart of the film, faith. Even if the subject matter sounds predictable and manipulative, it's still worth your hour and a half investment. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
