Un joli film qui ne manque ni d'humour, ni de profondeur Il y a quand même quelques longueurs et le détour par la communauté gitane n'est pas forcément très crédible.

Spect.

Viewers find 'Magnificat' a captivating and thought-provoking film that delves into the role of women in the Catholic Church with a mix of humor, depth, and emotion. Karin Viard's performance is consistently praised, and the film's ability to spark debate on significant religious and societal issues is highlighted. However, some noted the narrative occasionally suffers from pacing issues and unnecessary subplots, which detracts from the main storyline.

Synopsis

When an elderly priest died, the people in charge of his diocese discovered that it was a woman. Without anyone suspecting it, she had been practicing her vocation for years. Dismayed, the bishop decided to launch an investigation and asked the chancellor of the diocese to find out how, why and with what complicity such a deception was possible.

Cf le résumé : je n’étais pas forcément convaincu et en fait le film m’a beaucoup plu. Un sujet délicat, Karin Viard est au top (comme souvent, voire toujours). Un très bon film. Plusieurs histoire dans une histoire. Je recommande ++

Enquête aussi inattendue que passionnante au sein de l'Église catholique.
