Actress Stephanie Lee has completely overwhelmed the screen with a brand new face in the movie ‘The Exorcist Nun – It’s Stuck.’
The film ‘The Exorcist Nun – It’s Stuck’ is an occult mystery that tells the story of a nun who sees the dead and faces a curse that is difficult to resolve through faith. Stephanie Lee plays the role of ‘Talia,’ the nun who confronts the most powerful and cruel curse, ‘Loneliness,’ showcasing a heavy presence at the center of the narrative.
Known for her sophisticated image and urban charm, Stephanie Lee made a bold attempt to strip down her external style in ‘The Exorcist Nun – It’s Stuck’ with a makeup-free look and a neat nun's habit. Her restrained expressions, earnest gaze, and calmly lowered voice tone heightened the tension of the film and led to a high level of performance. As a known Catholic, she meticulously prepared for the character by consulting with priests and nuns before filming, adding depth to the character of Talia through her attitude, posture, and speech.
Not only did she undergo an external transformation, but Stephanie Lee also showcased a deeper emotional range in her acting, flexibly navigating the genre's tension and the character's emotional changes, thereby increasing the narrative's density. She delicately captured the sadness, confusion, and inner fractures stemming from wavering beliefs encountered during the process of tracking the curse's reality, enhancing the character's persuasiveness. Particularly, the moment in the latter half when she confronts the truth, where her suppressed emotions explode, led the audience to the peak of immersion and left a deep aftertaste.
Having primarily portrayed elite professional characters, Stephanie Lee broke away from her stable framework in this work, challenging herself with a strange and intense character, showcasing new possibilities. The praise for her growth as an actress and the expansion of her acting spectrum, along with her sincere challenge, has led to the ‘Rediscovery of Stephanie Lee’ beyond a mere image transformation.
With her refined portrayal of inner emotions, Stephanie Lee has grown even further and is expected to continue her active career through the upcoming film ‘It Can Only Be a Secret,’ set to be released in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, the film ‘The Exorcist Nun – It’s Stuck,’ showcasing Stephanie Lee's heartfelt performance, is currently being screened nationwide.
