As a young woman in the 1700s, Suzanne is sent to a convent against her will, and for the rest of her life, she documents her suffering in letters. Over the years, she faces humiliation and harassment while being subject to bigotry and religious fanaticism. Through it all, she yearns for freedom.

What are critics saying?
Nicloux is unable to instill the material with any tension.
Time Out London by Dave Calhoun
There’s a pleasing no-frills tone to the whole enterprise as well as a convincing grasp of the rituals and beliefs of the age.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
While nothing in The Nun feels inspiring or truly groundbreaking, it’s certainly a well-handled package, and the strong performances are abetted by superb technical contributions.
