Benedetta is a semi biography which follows the story of Nun who has an affair with another nun in the Italian convent. The story has enough of explosives to ruffle many feathers. Often termed as a cardinal sin, the story has a lot going to exposing the politics behind the churches. The screenplay is a bit of a slow burner but it manages to hold your attention throughout. You get glimpses of the childhood of the protagonist before she ventures into her journey as a nun. Soon the conflict is introduced after a jump in the timeline and this is when things start getting interesting. There are so many graphic scenes which ensured that the central theme of the film was uncompromised.

But what the film does well is touch upon the politics which runs inside the convent. The brief supernatural element will keep you guessing about the final outcome of the film. This culminates into a rivetting final act which keeps you on the edge of your seat. I feel obe minor drawback was that the screenplay could have been tighter. Some elements are repeated which makes the drama lag just that little bit. But overall, a very gutsy and bold screenplay.
