The Convent (2018)
1/10
Utterly wrong historically and badly acted as well
7 March 2024
The first bizarre thing was pointing out that it is 1619 and then flipping to 1659 in 3 seconds. In 1659 Richard Cromwell was Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England. Roman Catholism was outlawed during the entire period, there were no convents or nuns in Great Britain at the time, the burning of witches was already long over plus the Inquisition was never part of English history as it was part of the Spanish Catholic Church and England was Protestant. A nun appearing before an English Judge would have been arrested immediately and imprisoned! Every aspect of this farce is total nonsense when compared to history.

As if that were not enough, the writing is dreadful and the acting was on a par with those horrible daytime soap operas! I like Michael Ironside, even though he is nowhere near a great actor, but in this crap he is horrible, perhaps he recognized the caliber of this production and did not put in his full effort?

Do yourself a favor and skip this pile of manure!!!
