Nailed (1992) is a curious documentary that takes you on this visceral journey through the Catholic Church's historical impact in the Pacific. What makes it stand out is the way it blends personal narratives with striking visuals and soundscapes. The centerpiece is Lucy Reyes, a woman who has been literally nailed to a cross for 16 years, which adds a raw intensity to the film. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to soak in the heavy themes of colonialism and faith. It’s not polished, yet that’s its charm—there's this earthy grit in the practical effects and performances that feels genuine. It’s definitely a unique piece that invites contemplation rather than simple viewing.
