Sinekatalog’s take
Ulrich Seidl's uneasy drama follows a devout woman missionary with a statue of the Virgin Mary, whose faith turns obsessive. Unsparing and disturbing, with Maria Hofstätter fearless, it won the Venice Special Jury Prize.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
