Critical Sampling:
""Asylum" is all in great and occasionally gory fun, and the cast members deliver the over-the-top dialogue with a heaping topping of relish. Lange and Cromwell, in particular, emote the hell out of their respective parts.''(San Francisco Chronicle)
"No one will confuse Lange’s rigid nun with her Southern belle from hell last season, even if her Irish accent comes and goes like the tide. (Boston Herald)
"Overseeing of the madness is the stern and sadistic Sister Jude, played by scene-stealer Jessica Lange in deliciously theatrical manner. Lange was the highlight of the first season, playing meddling neighbor Constance Langdon, and she swallows this even meatier role whole." (Slant)

"Lange’s Jude is, as ever, first among equals. She’s thrown over the Blanche Dubois–in-a-drag-show Southern accent of Season 1 for an equally captivating Boston lilt. She’s a bit less of a scenery chewer here — as much as a nun who likes to cane people, lusts after her monsignor, and wears lingerie under her habit can be — but she is more human." (Salon)
"Lange plays the magisterial nun in charge of the wonderfully dank, shadowy asylum, and she's flat-out transfixing." (Huffington Post) Back to Film & Television |
