Trágala, perro

About This Movie

So, 'Trágala, perro' is really an interesting piece from 1981, you know? The film dives into the complexities of faith versus skepticism, centering on Sister Patrocinio, who bears the stigmata. There’s this tension throughout the movie, as the town is split on whether her condition is divine or just a ruse. The performances are pretty compelling—especially the lead—she really embodies that conflict between belief and doubt. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the atmosphere of uncertainty. The practical effects, though not over-the-top, serve the story well. This film captures a raw glimpse into religious fervor and the struggles within it, not your typical religious drama for sure.
