Guy Lodge Variety This supremely well-made chiller announces itself upfront as a cut above your average nunsploitation exercise with its stark, stringent mise-en-scène and jabs of religious inquiry via surreal, Bible-based animated interludes. Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Neil Young Screen International The climax... amps up the threateningly sinister mood to a nerve-rattling degree but then frustratingly fails to deliver the kind of Grand Guignol catharsis — see Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta — which the viewer has been led to expect.
