Darlin' (2019)

Emerging from the shadowy depths of her brutal past, the fierce matriarch, known only as the Woman, delivers her feral protégé, the adolescent Darlin' Cleek, at the austere doors of a Catholic hospital, before she herself melts back into obscurity. Found in a state of savage disarray, Darlin' is quickly swept into the care of the Bishop and his dutiful nuns, a world away from her untamed beginnings. The Bishop, a man with a sinister glimmer in his eyes, sees Darlin' not as a lost child, but as a project, a chance to demonstrate the transformative power of the church. He aims to sculpt her wild spirit into the image of a 'good girl', turning her into a beacon for donations, a testament to the miraculous work of the church. As Darlin' is thrust into this alien world, the specter of her past clings to her like a second shadow, the Woman's fierce love and primal instincts ever present in her mind. Yet amidst the harsh discipline and the demand for conformity, a subtle metamorphosis begins to take shape within Darlin'. A secret, darker than any sin the church could threaten her with, brews beneath her savage exterior. But remember, Darlin' is not alone in her journey. The Woman, equally feral and formidable, remains a constant presence, cloaked in the shadows of Darlin's psyche, her unwavering resolve set on one goal - reclaiming her child. In a world where arrogance and corruption hide behind the veil of piety, the battlelines are drawn. The question remains: who dares to separate a mother from her child? A tale of survival, transformation, and the unbreakable bond of blood, Darlin' is a heart-pounding journey into the wild side of humanity.
