Key opinion
Interno di un convento is widely regarded as a hollow exercise in erotic exploitation that fails to transcend its generic tropes. While it attempts to evoke the arthouse sensibilities of directors like Pasolini, it is criticized for its primitive execution and lack of thematic substance.
| Production | The production design and aesthetic choices reduce the convent setting to a crude backdrop for soft-core pornography. | |
| Cinematography | The cinematography and editing are technically inept, described as rough and unrefined. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay fails to offer a fresh perspective on the nunsploitation subgenre, relying on repetitive and bland depictions of vice. | |
| Originality | Opinions are divided on the film's identity: while some view it as a failed attempt at serious arthouse cinema, others suggest its sole purpose is to serve fans of low-budget erotic exploitation. |
