Please, could someone explain this? It strikes me as totally foreign, like it does not occur to me what Catholic teaching forbids this, and such a seemingly absurd rule would never occur to me in a hundred years! Is this an American cultural thing? I'm Hispanic. As far as I know, the universal Church has never forbidden this. I would appreciate some sources on this, please.

There's no law against it, but it's highly imprudent and should generally be avoided.

Yeah, Mel’s girlfriend wrote the script…and she’s not even Catholic.  :facepalm:  I’m sure this movie has decent human drama (to the extent that Mark W can act…which is limited), but it won’t be good Catholic drama.  Typical novus ordo…let’s bring Catholicism to “the worldly” which ends up destroying the true catholic message.  (I’ve not seen it but that’s what I gather from reviews).

How is that an absurd rule? It's not like a church doctrine but I believe most seminary formation would have mentioned it. Also not even for priests, usually the 2 people of the opposite sexes should avoid spending time together privately. And it's just a typical common sense to avoid scandal and temptation which is not so commonly known anymore. For example, St Pius V wouldn't even ride in the same carriage with his holiness's own sister.

I saw the movie and wondered about many things.  How could "Stu" be approved to be a priest when he could not function and do Mass?  Just the NO but still he could only listen to confessions.  How could he keep using bad language when he was striving for the priesthood?  They made it seem God used him over many years in his affliction (lived to be 50).  I left the NO many years ago, and do not regard that as a true Mass, but a false church and this movie just confirmed that even more.  I agree  "You don't give a chance for entering the seminary to a unqualified man just because he argued about it with his superior. You don't give a disabled person ordination out of fake charity."
