If you're pissed about the Catholic Church sexual abuse cases, Aaron and Guera provide a cathartic "biblical-noir" tale about two girls who are being groomed at a nunnery as the child brides for angels above but who decide to run and -- when cornered -- fight like all goddamn. It's a bloody and brutal tale of friendship, love, and perseverance. And revenge. A goddamn arkful of revenge. (
