It's a see-through movie composed of a lot of clanking, silly, melodramatic effects that, like rib-tickling, exhaust you without providing particular pleasure, to say nothing of enlightenment.

Russell is at his most spectacular in this magnificent tale of God, diabolism and desire, and by Reed's own admission the performance was among the best he ever gave.

Reed carries the film with an admirably restrained portrayal of the doomed priest. Redgrave, on screen only sporadically, is stunning as the salacious sister.
