The premise is captivating; an elderly priest, revealed posthumously to be a woman, sparks a whirlwind of investigation within the diocese. Virginie Sauveur’s direction brings out a unique atmosphere, mixing lighthearted moments with deeper, more serious undertones. The pacing ebbs and flows, keeping you engaged but reflective. Performances are nuanced, particularly from the lead who navigates the complexities of her character's secret life. It’s distinct for how it challenges traditional views on gender and vocation in a setting not usually associated with such explorations. Practical effects and a subtle score enhance the storytelling without overshadowing it, making it a thought-provoking watch.
