Collider’s Peri Nemiroff had a lot to say about the film, highlighting Sweeney’s performance and a memorable one-shot sequence.
Bloody Disgusting’s Frederick Nuti describes Sweeney in Immaculate as the “performance of her career.”
Fangoria’s Jason Kauzlarich says “Sydney Sweeney is a final girl and scream queen for a new generation.”
Awards Watch’s Tyler Doster highlights “jump scares that had me almost flying out of my seat.”
Leo Brady from AMovieGuy.com says the ending “will be talked about for a long long time.”
Some, like IndieWire’s Rafael Motamayor, were put off by Immaculate, saying it “never provides a cohesive narrative to support the genuinely interesting and bonkers ending to this Italian convent nightmare.” Read the full review here.
Immaculate’s synopsis reads “An American nun embarks on a new journey when she joins a remote convent in the Italian countryside. However, her warm welcome quickly turns into a living nightmare when she discovers her new home harbours a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.” Immaculate also stars Simona Tabasco, Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, and Dora Romano.
Immaculate releases in theaters on March 22, 2024.
