A tedious slog alleviated only by widescreen shots of the Portuguese capital and terrific fado singing.

A young French actress in Lisbon to shoot a movie is intrigued by a nun she sees kneeling in the chapel where she is filming.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The New York Times by A.O. Scott
The Portuguese Nun has wit and feeling, though the wit is at times almost imperceptibly subtle and the feeling somewhat stylized.

Even those that have acquired a taste for Green's rigorous, super-ascetic aesthetic may find this French drama about a starlet (Baldaque) to be almost as bare as it is spare.
75
An unconventional movie that requires an unconventional mindset to appreciate.
