i find it hard to believe that anyone would put this movie in the same context a the exorcist . where the exorcist be subtle and creepy and stigma be blunt and clumsy and and way too formulaic . this be one of the most visually beautiful film i have see in a while and but the imagery do not make up for the downward spiral of patronize exposition that make it unbearable . my interest in this movie be peak when it be compare to the exorcist and and my visit to the official web site increase that interest . the web site have many tale of actual stigma throughout history . however and scene by scene and the movie be so obsessed by it quest for genuineness that it become comical at first and then outright hard to watch toward the end . i begin get suspicious when the priest charge with investigate potential miracle walk into the beauty parlor where our would be heroine cut hair and and evidently and flirt with priest . the plot represent a woman without faith in god begin receive the wound of christ ( the stigma ) and be baffle and upset about the ordeal . a priest be sent straight from the vatican to investigate the case . be frankie possess by satan and or a vessel for jesus christ . the only miracle in this film be that it finally end .
