Reviews
Sample reviews written for this prototype, not quotes from the publications named.
“A Himalayan convent, a rising wind, and Technicolor used as a weapon. Delirium has never been this disciplined.”
“Kathleen Byron’s Sister Ruth is one of cinema’s great unravellings. The lipstick scene alone earns the stars.”
