Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2015, If you're into French literary history this interpretation of Denis Diderot's novel will be of interest, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2014. 1760s France. I was expecting for this movie to be about a nun that had heard her calling and was ready to serve the Lord, instead this movie was about deceit, greed, lust, sin. It really fell flat for me. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Everything that happened to her in the convent was terrible and depressing. 4.5 / 5 stars 81% 93%.
It's an exceptionally well made movie with excellent performances by the young Pauline Etienne, and the veteran actress, Isabelle Huppert. The ending is sudden and incomplete. The ending is sudden and incomplete as if they got tired and ran out of ideas, they do not explain or at least give an hint of what her half brother plans to do, he also looks like a freak. Spoiler alert: This story dredges up the worst of anything that can happen to a nun and then ends with her escaping to her true, powerful, rich father who dies immediately after. Not saying there are not evil people like in St. Marie's convent but those are not nuns or Godly women, those are criminals and psychos and there is a special place in hell for them, for the most part the Catholic church is filled with a lot of self sacrifice but a lot of joy goes into devoting your life to service, be it as a teacher, nurse or just cloistered nun depending on the order and this movie does not show that nor the deep love for GOD, many of the people who join the church are well educated and go into the religious life willingly and are treated with respect and loved by their peers, this movie portrays everyone as emotionally disturbed freaks.
Despite the intensity of the drama, there are some very subtle touches of humor that should draw out a chuckle or two. I wish every single girl found dead and wasted on drugs on a back alley or every little girl who becomes a sex slave would have a chance to serve in a convent and be taught by kind older females. Although it does show the worst that could happen to a girl, forced into the religious life by her family, the bad parts are over done, she was confrontational, as she did not want to be there at a time when women were expected to obey but the torture or the unwanted "love" go beyond any punishment deserved. A lot of blame is placed on the "Catholic church" and it is portrayed as an evil institution, but if you peel back the layers you find it is not the church but people in general and their evil deeds using the church, after all it was her own mother who put her in the convent, her sisters who felt jealous, it was family who did not want to support a girl, or made the child go into religious life thinking it would earn them points in heaven, no one in her family actually loved her etc.. at any rate it was very rare to have a girl committed to a convent and forced to take vows, mostly they kept them at novice level until they decided, or at least they would have kept her from a public ceremony (becoming a nun is very public, all family is invited because it is a wedding), and she did agree even if coerced, she did take the vow, something that was taken very seriously.

I did give it extra stars for the costumes and setting because they are gorgeous, I found myself, rewinding just to look at them in the habits, those with red at the end are stunning and in a group impressive.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018. p.s. Nuns are beautiful. The people in the movie did not start happy, they had no happy times during the movie and at the end they finished just as miserable. A young woman enters the convent and cares for the indigent in the Belgian Congo, but as World War II breaks out, her free spirit and hatred for the enemy make her question her calling to God.

It is a very anti-Catholic movie. It has French dialogue and English subtitles. The ending is sudden and incomplete. “The Nun” is a superb film.
