What are critics saying?

Variety by

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

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.

Time Out by David Fear

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.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

An unconventional movie that requires an unconventional mindset to appreciate.
