A well-off young woman decides to become a nun, joining a convent that rehabilitates female prisoners.

RTTime OutJun 24, 2006

One of the most astonishing film debuts ever, made while France was still under Nazi occupation.

RTChicago ReaderMar 4, 2006

the heaviness of the dialogue is balanced by Jany Holt's superbly understated performance as the prisoner -- a performance that looks forward to the invisible acting style of Bresson's mature work.

RTCinefiliaMar 24, 2023

A debut feature that subtly announces certain qualities of Bressonian aesthetics to question the emancipation and female suffering. [Full review in Spanish]

Theological pretensions aside, Angels of Sin is simply an overcooked melodrama
