Starring: Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Storm Reid, Anna Popplewell, Bonnie Aarons, Katelyn Rose Downey, Suzanne Bertish

Director: Michael Chaves

Running Time: 110 Minutes

Rating: R

Release Date: September 8, 2023 (Theaters)

I think The Nun should team up with Pistachio Disguisey from The Master of Disguise. Sure she’s got some other skills besides blending into things, particularly telekinesis. But those feats of fancy aren’t all that special compared to her camouflage capers. Maybe her next adventure should be some sort of Where’s Waldo?-style puzzler.

Grade: A Little More Than Nun of the Fun
