"The Little Hours"

"The Little Hours" is a sex farce set in a Middle Ages convent; yes you heard right. I sat there sometimes laughing out loud at how witty and subversive this movie was as it poked fun at human hypocrisy and keeping up appearances. Here the target is the church but it could have been anything else associated with human nature. 

There is almost a Monty Pythonesque sensibility here mixed with early Woody Allen, subdued Mel Brooks and delivered by actors (some SNL regulars) who you can tell are enjoying every minute of what is often delicious dialogue and action. Formulaic Hollywood fare this ain't.

When I was young my mother told me that a priest filled her in on nuns. "You wouldn't want to live with them 24/7".  Well this movie confirms it. 

On Tubi and highly recommended.
