"...[The] young Edith Stein ( Ellen Seltz ) ...walks
slowly into view, a huge puff of smoke coming out of her mouth. In
the brief chiaroscuro lighting, Stein looks more like a film noir
femme fatale than a nun, and from that point on, Seltz's Stein was
mesmerizing. The actress effortlessly handled the progression of her
character from unemployed philosophy major to nun candidate to
church martyr. She displayed an acute vulnerability in the
character's constant state of flux. What is most admirable about her
performance was the ability to convey the sense of desperation in
the character, whether it was her desperate desire to seek God in
the convent, or her desperate yearning to get a letter from her
mother, the actress had no problem transitioning from scene to
scene. Every moment she was on stage was truthful and engaging..." - David Miguel Estrada, RaggedBlade.com: Edith Stein
