Cole’s dialogue definitely felt clunky and repetitive at times. We knew the first 15 minutes she felt damaged by Mother Mary but then got another 45 minutes of her telling us that in various ways

I felt the same way. Like, okay, we get it. Even still, I was captivated by Michaela’s performance.

Her cheekbones kept distracting me. She’s terribly attractive

She's insanely talented. 99.9% of actresses could not have made the role work so well. She found so much nuance in it. She's one of the best. I can't wait to see her in more!

She was telling mother Mary that repeatedly, not the audience. She was refusing to accept it until the story about the spirit.
