I wonder if those guys would've showed up to EVERY nunsploitation film that was made in the 70s.

Certainly well directed and acted. The production design is fantastic. I didn't love the movie and not sure I'd revisit it... but it is definitely worth checking out, especially if you are a Verhoeven fan.

Going to watch this with my parents and relatives before we go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve.

Can’t fucking wait.

Really liked it. Verhoeven hasn’t done anything this good in a while.

4/5

Looks as nice on Hulu as it did in the theater.

We need Verhoeven to make Satan's Alley now with Maguire and RDJ.
