	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"It never manages to answer the one question a spinoff would seem to exist to provide: What, exactly, does this otherworldly demon actually want? (...) 'The Nun' knows exactly what it wants to do"	NEU
United States	Harry Windsor The Hollywood Reporter	"It gives us characters whose interactions with each other feel less than detailed, and who are more archetypal than real. But it’s good clean fun nevertheless"	NEU
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Specters and hallucinations appear without consistent narrative logic (...) Filled with lore sure to please viewers eager to find out how World War II reopened a gateway sealed since the Dark Ages"	NEU
United States	Tom Jorgensen IGN	"A good 'Conjuring' history lesson wrapped in a mediocre horror movie (...) Corin Hardy relies too heavily on familiar tropes"	NEU
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"Hardy is hardly concerned with building up any sense of narrative momentum (...) 'The Nun' comes to feel as if arbitrariness is its governing principle (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"'The Nun' is spooky, but it’s never genuinely scary (...) At least it’s never boring"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"Inane, illogical, almost-amusing B-movie territory (...) The narrative’s by-the-numbers approach can’t conjure up sustained interest or patch over the messiness"	NEG
United Kingdom	Jo-Anne Rowney Mirror	"It’s effective if what you’re looking for is an adventure thriller - but it's the weakest in 'The Conjuring' series (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
