This movie was so incredibly done. My only complaint is that I wanted MORE (which I'm saying cheekily, as it's not a complaint, rather an ackowledgement that the film was so visceral and engaging, I just wanted to see more of it). Anchored by a phenom performance, the visuals in this film just add to the dread and wonder. It really makes you think about all these historical 'saints' who spoke to "God" - were they all nuts too? Either way, this slow burner really 'heats up' and has a tremendous pay off. As mentioned, I just wish there were a few more scenes of Maud communicating with her maker, with the "one below" and various other spiritual entities. Overall, a great take on religion horror. A+
