Reception
Guy Lodge of Variety wrote that "this supremely well-made chiller announces itself upfront as a cut above your average nunsploitation exercise with its stark, stringent mise-en-scène and jabs of religious inquiry via surreal, Bible-based animated interludes."[2] Muriel Del Don of Cineuropa wrote that the film "works intelligently to combine spiritual challenges, a thriller, and the world of childhood, ultimately transforming innocence into extremism."[3]
Neil Young of Screen Daily wrote that "As a determinedly downbeat exercise in moody atmospherics, Serviam — I Will Serve passes muster."[1]
