Nica Noelle is going to Hell,
No Mea Culpa or ringing bell
No absolution or holy well,
Can restore her now from whence she fell.

Yes, friends, Nica Noelle is going to spend all eternity
strapped to a chair watching Gonzo porn with her eyes sewn open. I, too, will be there, forced to kneel
between her legs and lick her pussy but not be allowed to give her an orgasm –
just endless stimulation without release.
She’s going there because she made this video. I’m going there because (bless me Father, for
I have sinned) I watched it not just once, but three times (so far), and
masturbated furiously each time. So, I’m
going to hell with Nica. In fact,
everyone who made this video will be there along with anyone who watches it.
But this video is worth it.
I’m glad I got to watch it. I
might not be so glad when demons are pouring molten lead down my throat, but
for now, I say IT IS WORTH IT.
Magdalene St Michaels and Ariella Ferrara head an
outstanding cast of women in habits. And
Nica Noelle has outdone herself with a brilliantly conceived, completely blasphemous,
totally sacrilegious, tightly written script which she then directs with her
usual deft touch. To quote George Takei,
“Oh my…”
I am going to forgo my usual scene-by-scene descriptions for
this review. I’ll leave the blow-by-blow
descriptions and critiques to other reviewers.
I’m going to take a different approach.
Magdalene St. Michaels is a good actress. She really is. It really isn’t fair to other ladies in adult
that she’s not only an incredibly sexy woman who can make dead men hard and
even frigid women wet with desire, but that she can also act. In this case she gets to play the Mother
Superior and I cannot think of anyone else in the Adult Industry who could have
played this part as well (or played it at all).
She takes Nica’s words and inhabits them; brings them
to life. She opens the video and has the
first sex scene; setting the bar very
high for everyone who follows her.
Her powerful presence dominates the production even when she is not on
the screen. When she is in the frame she
completely dominates it in every way.
Her words are powerful whips of command that must be obeyed. Her facial expressions convey an image of
inner fires that might suddenly, spontaneously, combust.
Ariella Ferrara, long one of my favorite porn ladies, picks
up the gauntlet Magdalene throws down and runs with it. She gives a marvelously nuanced performance
as a woman struggling with her sexual needs and desires; struggling with her
guilt over feelings she can’t seem to control; her fear of being found out and cast
out. This kind of need/guilt/fear
combination can be explosive and she demonstrates this in her two sex scenes, giving
performances that show great passion, great vulnerability, and (this is not a
contradiction) a certain degree of calculated sexuality.
Ariella’s scene with Jasmine Jem is a terrific example of
what happens when a great script is delivered by performers who have completely
committed to their roles. And, at this
point, I’m not even talking about the sex (which was incredibly hot). The six or so minutes leading up to the actual
porn part of this scene are well worth watching.
I haven’t mentioned the other characters in this production,
but they deserve notice as well. Mae
Olson’s scene with Magdalene (“Mother Magdalene” – OMG! Can you believe it?)
torches the screen, takes the kinky-meter all the way to the stops, and leaves
the viewer breathless, covered in perspiration, and in need of a towel.
Presley Hart, whose visage encased in all that starched
white cloth reminds me a little of Chastity Lynn, plays the role of Ariella’s
lesbian love interest to perfection.
And, when the clothes come off, her performance matches Ariella’s moan
for moan, twitch for twitch, orgasm for orgasm.
And, I don’t want to neglect Ashley Graham and Lea Lexis who
have a terrific scene together. Their
passion explodes across the screen but there’s also a playful element as well –
a hint of mischief to add some spice to their sexual shenanigans.
Then there’s the music.
I don’t usually comment on porn sound tracks, but this one is an
integral part of the video. Nica Noelle rubs our faces in the sacrilege.
She starts out at full blaspheme and doesn’t take her foot off the gas
for even a second. Each passage of organ
music or choral chanting is a reminder of how absolutely DIRTY this video is.
The sets are perfectly conceived, with the Spartan ethos of Convent quarters as a backdrop for illicit, sinful, S-E-X. Pictures of the “Blessed Virgin” and crucifixes are everywhere. This is as it should be. Nica set out to break a taboo that really hadn’t been broken before (at least not that I can recall, although I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong), and once she started down that road she had no choice but to go all the way. As my grandfather used to say “might as well be hung for a sheep as a wooly lamb.”

No complaints technically speaking. Shot selection, camera work, lighting,
editing, and sound are all first rate. I’ll
even comment on the makeup, something I rarely do. Each of the women was given something of a
pale countenance which I thought fit the subject matter very well.
I’ve been a pretty poor predictor of awards, but if this one
doesn’t win best girl-girl at next year’s AVN’s I want the judges drug tested
and their bank accounts forensically examined.
Bravo, Nica. I’ll save a spot for you next to the
furnace.
