The Big Picture Sydney Sweeney's unorthodox route to Hollywood powerhouse is continuing with the release of her new horror film Immaculate. True to form, Sweeney is defying expectations once again as the Neon-produced and distributed movie has made history with the highest-grossing opening weekend in the company's history, outpacing the likes of Michael Mann's Ferrari, Oscar winners Parasite and Anatomy of a Fall, and Kristen Stewart's Princess Diana biopic, Spencer.
What Is 'Immaculate' About? The movie is a psychological horror film that dives into the life of Sister Cecilia, who joins an Italian convent only to find herself in the midst of horrifying secrets. After a near-death experience, Cecilia believes her survival has divine significance, but her sanctuary soon turns sinister, culminating in a shocking, miraculous pregnancy.
"Credit Sweeney for tackling such a bold project as a significant stakeholding producer. What works can be marvelous, especially considering how relentlessly violent revenge-based consequences can become . Unfortunately, the connective tissue between standout shocks and awes is as visible as the holy ghost — you must believe it’s there. Mohan’s direction is confident, the film’s visuals emblematic and elegant, yet lasting impressions aren’t quite in line with the film’s dreadful tone.
