Saint Ange. 2004.
Anna arrives at a orphanage in the French Alps and meets a young girl Judith who has mental health issues but both can hear voices of children and decides to look into the past of the orphanage and uncovers some secrets.
Before director Pascal Laugier made Martyrs he made this little number, set in 1958 a convent has only two nuns and run by Catriona MacCall who takes in the young woman unaware that she is pregnant and seems to show remorse to herself, yeah there is scene that maybe upsetting where the young mother to be tries to suffer a self inflicted miscarriage.
The film is very slow paced and by the build up to the suspense has happened it can be a bit of "what...all that for that" moment. The acting is decent enough for entertainment and can feel the sense of sanity vs insanity, what we are seeing is real or just in the mind of people, think a re-watch of this will happen.
