The Nun (2015)
Suzanne is pushed into a convent at age 16 when she starts to draw male attention from her older sisters. She expects to get out once they’re married off, but is pressured by her family to stay in and take the veil. Though she fights doing so, her mother convinces her -- by telling her she’s illegitimate -- to go back in.
It’s just one thing after another for this girl, though. During her second attempt at taking her vows, she faints and is sick for two days. Her beloved mother superior dies and there’s a new mom in town & she's not a fan of Suzanne. At all. Deprivation, torture, and ostracization become her life. She succeeds in getting transferred to another convent where the mother superior dotes on her... like “I’m cold, let me get into bed with you, Sue” doting.
Well acted, but the story could’ve used a bit of restraint. I’m guessing the author had more than a bit of an issue with the Catholic church.
