So, this wasn't really a horror movie. Sure, it starts off with the whole possession shebang, but that only takes up about 40 minutes of the movie, and its just a catalyst for a nun's crisis of faith, and the rest of the movie is about that, so I would put the movie firmly in the drama category.
Personally I didn't like the movie much. Some of the acting was either a little stilted or it was over the top, but it was nothing terrible. The lead actress I guess was going for "depressed nun" but came off a bit wooden some of the time.
There's a few moments where they try to lead you down the "is she possessed" path, but I think that was more about her struggle with temptation/sin. Trying to fit into the world, but still thinking as a nun.
I did think the movie ended a little suddenly. Like, I wasn't expecting it to end where it did, it didn't feel like a conclusion. I thought there would be a little more after the conversation wth the priest, but there wasn't and it just felt like the story wasn't complete.
My only real thought about the writing was that it was a draft of a better story. Like someone wrote it and then filmed it before having an editor look at it to make it better.
