1975, Rosenkreuz Manor. Sigrun starts a new position with the eccentric Baroness Heidenreich. A shared longing binds the two women together: the old lady's memory contains the secret to Sigrun's true identity; the nurse's life force holds the key to the future for the Baroness. On the path to self-discovery, Sigrun is confronted with the sinister world of "völkisch" occultism, opening an unearthly abyss in which every moral and principle is tested.

feels directionless and under-developed, as if the 71 minute run time wasn’t enough.

Silver Screen Riot

Wolfszahn’s direction is economical and effective, the film clocks in at just a smidge over 70-minutes but never skimps on mood or narrative tidiness.

Rated: B-

Elements of Madness

While it’s not as riveting as one might hope with so many strong pieces at work, the execution of the concept presents a strong calling-card for a talented creative.

Rated: 3.5/5

Eye for Film

Mother Superior often puts style over substance, but that style is a real treat for fans of the Gothic.

"Wolfszhan's movie charts a razor-sharp course between the edges of different genres. These include science fiction, gothic horror, and alternative history. The movie is a treat that unfolds against the backdrop of brooding cinematography" Full review: https://signalhorizon.com/glasgow-frightfest-2023-mother-superior-review/#google_vignette
