An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. On top of that, earlier in 2025, Jef Baena actually took his life so it was really time to finally watch one of his directorial efforts. Well, it was definitely an intriguing movie and I wonder how Baena came up with this idea. Still, I’m afraid it didn’t really work out though. Basically, it was pretty weird and random but its randomness was probably their biggest asset as it did make the whole thing quite unpredictable which was neat. However, I’m not sure if I really cared about anything that happened during the whole duration (watching some young nuns having some hot sex will always get you some extra points from me though). Even more problematic was the fact that none of the characters involved was really developed at all so they all felt rather uninteresting and I had actually a rather hard time to care about what any of them was going through. Aubrey Plaza always has a sarcastic intoxicating screen presence though and she didn’t disappoint here. Alison Brie is also quite pretty but, like her husband Dave Franco who was also involved in this movie, I think she is actually rather bland. It’s also a pity they didn’t manage to give John C. Reilly more to do. Finally, it was also supposed to be a comedy (I guess?) but the humor was basically limited to seeing these nuns swearing all the time in modern English which was fun for maybe 5 mins only. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch though and I think it is worth a look.
