Why watch this film?
Immaculate is a film directed by Michael Mohan (The Voyeurs) that starts from the conventions of nunsploitation—a subgenre of exploitation cinema featuring nuns and typically exploring themes like desire, sex, sin, and crises of faith—and dares to subvert them. The plot follows a young American novice, Cecilia (Sydney Sweeney), who moves to a convent in Italy, where she is warmly welcomed by Father Tedeschi (Money Heist's Álvaro Morte). However, her stay soon turns into a confusing nightmare, and she discovers that she is part of a grand, yet terrifying, church plan. The film manages to overcome the most unfortunate clichés of nunsploitation, where women are sometimes just a means to an end, to criticize the Catholic Church and its double standards towards women. Sweeney's performance may fall short at times, but when it's time to go crazy, it will leave you more than satisfied—and shocked.

The Voyeurs
"Seeming like a mix of 'Rear Window' and 'The Woman in the Window', 'The Voyeurs' tells the story of Pippa and Thomas (Sydney Sweeney and Justice Smith), a couple who move into their dream apartment. However, in the middle of the way, they realize their windows look into the opposite apartment. From there, with an increasing obsession with the family across the street, they set off a chain of events that will lead to disaster. Though less interesting than 'Rear Window' and closer to the tone taken by the Amy Adams movie, the feature should work for those looking for teenage suspense filled with tension and some inspired moments from director Michael Mohan ('Save the Date'). The absolute highlight, however, is Sydney Sweeney ('The White Lotus'), a clear rising star."
