Review of Immaculate

Immaculate (2024)

Sydney Sweeney stars as as Sister Cecilia, a young woman who believes that God saved her from drowning in her childhood. She somehow winds up at a convent in Italy while carrying a book for translations. It makes no sense that an English speaking American would not find a place in the U. S. to enter a nunnery.

The imagery is of the usual Catholic chapel filled stained glass and statues. I am a cradle RC and I am familiar with such surroundings. It opens with a nun reciting the Rosary in Italian with English subtitles for those viewers not of the faith.

The worst aspect is a technical one as the actors often mumble their lines and all is lost as far as the storyline goes. Sweeney is often blood soaked and her ear piercing screams are over the top. Rosemary's Baby is similarly themed and a far superior film, as is The Omen.
