    honestly really enjoyed this film lol fantastic amount of intrigue, tight and straightforward. I love workplace gossip in interesting workplaces. Great depiction of the insular nature of the church—the church, the robes, the sequestering. I do think things worked out a little too cleanly, candidates going down left and right. And the final reveal felt unnecessary.

    great descent into madness, so visceral, I was so annoyed by Nina but she did embody this soft spoken rigid character so well. good integration of ballet and sexuality and sanity in the exploration of control!
