Set within the Corpus Christi Monastery in Rockford, Illinois, Chosen: Custody of the Eyes forms an intimate portrait of Heather*, a former blogger and painter confronting what she believes is her calling: Becoming a cloistered contemplative nun in one of the strictest religious orders. Chosen is a coming-of-age story by first-time filmmaker Abbie Reese in collaboration with Heather, who became the film's primary cinematographer. The Novice Mistress deemed this project a "once in a lifetime" occurrence - permitting a video camera to capture monastic life from the inside. *She selected the alias "Heather" to reflect the Poor Clare Colettine pursuit of anonymity.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Casey Duggan

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Chosen: Custody of the Eyes is a fantastic documentary about the cloistered nuns in Rockford, IL. It follows the path of a young woman who decides to be a nun, and the process she goes through to be indoctrinated into the culture. Abbie Reese very thoughtfully edited the film so you would feel like you were with the young nun on her journey, and get to experience a bit of what it's like behind the "enclosure". At times frustrating and other times meditative, Chosen will give you a look into a world you wouldn't be able to experience otherwise. Highly recommended!
