FredM’s review published on Letterboxd:
Minor spoilers ahead.
(Not without any exaggeration) this has to be the best opening sequence of a movie since Up. In 10 minutes we have a great overview of the characterization of the leading guy, from preacher to atheist delivering exorcisms at easy victims, and for easy money. In the end, he also has a family to take care of, you know.
To show how his work goes, he agrees that a camera crew is following him during his acts, and they head off to a rural farm, where the daughter is under a certain possession, and he will try to release her from it.
To be honest, for a movie in this genre, it's not really scary, but the best part is that it continuously tries to put you on the wrong foot, is there something supernatural going on or are we dealing with the almighty powers of girlhood puberty? For me it was unclear until the girls uses an incorrect term for a (pleasant) sexual activity, but even then the very ending came as a surprise (or maybe not). The natural acting (girl please stop staring at me like that) further adds to the authenticity of the story leading to a satisfying experience of this unusual exorcism tale.
