Buñuel's worst film: a disappointment


Honestly, I found this to be uneven and disappointing. This film is often on lists of greatest films of all time, so I was expecting something better. There are some good moments and Silvia Pinal's performances is good, but the film often drags and is not as compelling as it should be. It is trying to be edgy, but for me it fall flat much of the time. It bored me far too often. I've liked some of Buñuel's other films, but this one just didn't work for me. Out of the seven films of his that I have seen, this is my least favourite. My rating of Viridiana is a disappointing 5/10.

Perhaps a little too far out of its time and place.
