VIP8There are so many things that I loved about this movie. I loved how clean the whole setup is - it only took about twenty minutes to give the viewer an excellent glimpse into where the movie was going and what the main conflicts are. While the girl was at the center of the story the movie really had nothing to do with the girl. The acting by everyone in the movie is absolutely top notch, especially Florence Pugh (she very much reminds me of a young Kate Winslet). Once the story was set up I was extremely curious as to how they were going to wrap it up - the resolution was amazing and did not disappoint.
I do have one last note on this movie. I am a man that embraces science and discounts religion. On the surface it seems as though this movie be a movie about science vs. religion but I think the exchange between the nurse and the nun at the end of the movie shows that the issue was not necessarily religion but fanaticism.

I don't think so. It seemed to me that the issue is the defining element of all Abrahamic religions, which is the oppressive sense of shame/guilt, and the lengths people (the father, the mother, the doctor and the rest of the committee) go to in order to cope with the cognitive dissonance.
If you've watched Sebastián Lelio's previous film Disobedience (2017), you should be able to see a pattern emerging.
