Sydney Sweeney plays Cecelia, a young American woman who enters a convent in
Italy. The convent contains a hospital for elderly nuns who are in their last
years and are no longer able to serve. Many of the old nuns are demented.
Cecelia is an outsider in the convent. Everyone else is Italian. Things change
when she's discovered to be pregnant, despite still being a virgin. The other
nuns begin to worship her, and it's expected that she will be the mother of
the new saviour.
I'll stop there. I have nothing against religious films. "Immaculate" could
have been a good film, but many of the final scenes were so horrific that I
felt like walking out. Somehow I remained until the end. I was surprised that
there was applause when the film ended. How could anyone possibly have enjoyed
the film? It's well crafted, a visual splendour, but so tasteless.
