Her vows do not prevent her from passionate explorations with others, but ultimately she cannot find spiritual nourishment in this world. "Subtle, elegant, enigmatic, this movie by the veteran Oliveira exercises a powerful grip...echoes the satiric irony of late Bunuel and the secretive minimalism of Bresson" (Wally Hammond, Time Out Film Guide).
