There's waaaaaay toooooo much blood in Immaculate's marketing (posters and Facebook film review mentions) for people to NOT KNOW it's not a horror movie.
Every time Tim is on your show, I feel compelled to say, “Yay, Tim!” just so you keep inviting him on. 😊
We will pass along your yay regards!
When I saw the movie title I thought this was a documentary on Alonso's hair.
I thought that was 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'
He is always spiffy!
@@BreakfastAllDay Spiffy....love that word.
So nice to see Tim and Christy together. You have a lovely chemistry together.
Thank you! Tim is great.
By the time it finally got going, I had already been bored WAY too long for it to be able to win me back in any way , though yes I did indeed admire Sydney's performance greatly in the finale there!!
She does go for it! Thanks Bev.
Gotta say, I respectfully disagree with Christy on this one; not only in the assessment of the movie (I'm right down the middle with Tim on this one), but also in the idea that this would invoke mother!-level backlash from the Cinemascore crowd. Immaculate just feels so milquetoast to me, to the point where I can't see it standing out either positively or negatively to the average person anymore than the typical horror film-of-the-week.
I've been fighting that feeling. You might be right. I also think Late Night With The Devil wasn't aaaaalllll that great. Good, sure, but quite an easy watch. I was expecting less cheese and more sinister...ness. I'd take either over a Conjuring though.
I love me some Tim Grierson! Always great to see him on a review! #blessed
He's always lovely and thoughtful!
Love lies bleeding was really an expectant compromise to what I came to know and love really enjoyed it thanks you guys for reviewing that one
Great review. Might have to see this.
Thanks for the awesome review. Will definitely watch the spoiler review next week.
Great, thank you, see you then!
I enjoyed your review and your spoiler talk of this movie! I keep looking for more videos and discussions on it because I just saw it and thought it was quite something! Unfortunately a lot of videos I’ve found focused a lot on Sydney’s looks/body which is annoying, so thank you for not doing that in your discussions of this film!
Thanks Courtney! We try to be a little more thoughtful around here :)
Like Christy, I was really entertained by this film. I found the jump scares expertly engineered, which jump scares rarely are. Sweeney’s performance is pretty ballsy. And some of the shot-making in the film is unexpectedly lovely - her emerging through the hillside vines and ivy, covered in blood, is breathtaking. I thought the catacombs were effective - given what is happening in that scene, I appreciated how they simultaneously felt tomblike and manger-like.
Wow. What a treat. I am about to go see Immaculate today, and follow that up, a few hours later, and watch Cabrini! Its going to be NUN DOUBLE HEADER. LOL! Granted, each film has a completely different take on the life of people in this vocation - the first being sacrilegious and the latter being reverential - so it will be interesting to see which one resonates with me more.
Great, let us know how it goes!
@@BreakfastAllDay I just saw those two films yesterday. Immaculate was well shot and well acted, and that ending was so disturbing! Cabrini, the other film about nuns that I saw yesterday, was such a nice counterpoint to Immaculate. While Immaculate portrayed the oppressive and exploitive nature of religion with reference to its treatment of women, Cabrini shows how a life of religious devotion can be one of the most beautiful and impactful ways a woman can express her femininity. I hope you will do a review of Cabrini. I will soon forget about Immaculate despite some of its memorable elements. Cabrini is such an uplifting story, without being a heavy-handed vehicle for proselytizing, that it will stay in my mind and my heart for years to come.
Listened to this on G&L, and love now seeing Tim talk about this one. Lovely job both of you. 8/10 (B+ in Grierson and Leitch parlance) for me.
He is everywhere sharing his wisdom!
I've never seen Tim be so emotive.
Lovely review! Tim is awesome
He is indeed, thanks!
Thanks for the review! Listening to what you two are saying, I think you can make this a double feature with Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta... They really complement each other 😎
Good call! Thanks Andrea.
People should watch Benedetta regardless because it's a great and funny movie about power, faith and hypocrisy with three fantastic performances from Virginie Efira, Charlotte Rampling and Lambert Wilson. It's not a horror movie though for the people who are looking for that.
Corpus Christi?
I just like that Simona Tabasco from White Lotus 2 is here with Sydney Sweeney from White Lotus 1 lol
I found the first half of Immaculate to be sluggish, but once it kicks into gear I was giddy with the type of excitement I last experienced when watching 'Malignant'. The ending is pretty extraordinary. Sydney Sweeney is definitely having a moment between this, Anyone But You and Madame Web (which I am one of the few who enjoyed!) Look forward to the spoiler talk.
She is definitely on a roll! Thanks, Rob.
Benedetta was (is) great as well!!!!
I never saw "The Voyeurs". Did you and Alonso review it? Is there a link? Looking forward to your spoiler review of this film.
We didn't, actually.
@@BreakfastAllDay If I see it, I'll let you know what I think.
Have either of you seen "The Magdalene Sisters" (2002)? It's the ultimate 'evil nun' movie, directed by the great actor Peter Mullin. And it's based on a true story. Highly recommended.
The story line was disappointing. Too many doors she opened, trying to scare us. But Sweeney’s performance was outstanding. She did an effective portrayal & if not for her, I’d trash this movie. It’s an insult & very offensive to the Catholic religion.
It’s baffling people find this basic-ass, unoriginal and harmless horror movie 1) any good 2) insane
I completely agree with Christie. Sydney Sweeney had something to say here and this is a REALLY important time to say it. This definitely shouldn't have been camp.
What's the Twist and Turns aside I really love the story overall in its simplicity Sydney really gives a good performance here it's well-directed I think the camera angles are very restrained and disciplined and I really had a good time it was really tense bloody I had zero expectations going in and it was really satisfying 8.5 / 10
It's a six...thanks for the warning😂
i will wait till the First Omen
as an italian I'm getting a bit fed up of all the stereotypes in hollywood of italian culture and catholicism. and historically some of the best of hollywood films have cannibalised a lot of aspects of italian culture. in some cases very well and even intelligently, but so very few
The best example of this is House of Gucci. I hated that movie for the same reason!.
@@johnf6384 incredibly offensive film, some characters were clownish so much bad acting
I thought The Voyeurs was a decent enough psychological drama. But not into movies like Rosemary's Baby or Mother. And jump scare movies are lazy. This is disappointing.
Being an ex-Catholic seems to give one a soft spot for certain types of horror movies. I'm a sucker for a possession/exorcism movie myself (can't wait to see Late Night with the Devil). Immaculate's on my radar as well. Who doesn't love a creepy nun movie? 😈
The Nun isn’t good
nun of my business
That ending though..
It's something!
Imagine if they made a cloned Mohammed instead of a cloned Jesus. There would be people losing their heads. Literally,
Do people go to movies after only looking at posters?
I do. If it is at least a 6 on imdb. I try to know as little as possible about a movie
I think she is very good looking
Very much a 5/10 for me as well. Good atmosphere and some really creepy shots. But everytime the film would build tension, they’d immediately deflate it all with an obnoxious jump scare. The story itself seemed very silly. I personally didn’t think Sydney Sweeney’s performance was all that great. She was strong with the high emotion performances (hence all the praise), but I felt her dialogue wasn’t very believable throughout.
So did that other nun smoke too (since she had matches in that awkward situation)?
Maybe she has them to light candles ...?
Good nun-spoiler review.
Haha
Wah waaahh ... :)
This movie was so slow and boring and even when it starting going it was still anti climatic. What a waste
I loved the film ! Can’t wait for the spoiler review!
Woo hoo! Coming Tuesday.
@@BreakfastAllDay Can’t wait! Thank you for all you do! You’re my top critics I depend on! ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
When is Sydney ever going to do her Barbarella movie?
When they have a proper script probably
She’s a good actress people have been hounding her to do “an ugly role” so she tried. She’s actually really good in Euphoria.
Jurassic Jesus 😉
Yes it can be predictable and sometimes but that's not why you have fun in this movie and people keep bringing up Rosemary's Baby I'm sick of old people bringing that movie out just enjoy it for what it is or don't comparing everything to the greatest version of what it was is not going to make it fun for anybody
A welcome guest, and a welcome discussion. Love to watch you disagree.
Not sure about seeing this one based on a 7 😶
80 minutes of jumpscares and plodding boredom just to get to a pretty great ending.
There were too many jump scares, it's true.
I’m not looking for a Casablanca every weekend. So I’ll take this movie for what it is.
This is the Casablanca of Italian nun movies.
Lmao
@@BreakfastAllDay… oh no… has it unseated Verhoeven’s Benedetta?
I liked this movie. I liked the acting, the cinematography and the ending. I thought it was a solid horror movie.
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION is actually NOT about Mary's Virginal conception of Jesus. It is about Mary's own conception being FREE of ORIGINAL SIN. In Roman Catholicism, every person has the stain of Adam & Eve's original sin on the moment of conception, EXCEPT for Mary. Thus, she was chosen to bear the Son of God.
Not true. She was born in sin. Jesus life was protected by the holy spirit from imperfection when he was in the womb.
Then, who was the father?
@@musicmann1967God
@@yv3652 Haha!! Okay!
This thing doesn't look fun, scary, or interesting.
I don't even recognize Alonzo without the beard.
Cut off the beard and the voice goes higher
@@kendallandrews8691 That seems right.
I'm sorry to clog your message boards. I know I am not one of your real critic colleagues. I wasn't trying to show off I just desperately wanted to feel part of something
Don’t like Tim.
I’m sure it’s mutual…
