A group of women, seeking to escape the mundane and oppressive aspects of their lives, find themselves drawn into a mysterious, almost spiritual journey. They are guided by an enigmatic figure who promises them a radical transformation and a deeper understanding of existence. This journey challenges their perceptions of reality, desire, and liberation.

The Exterminating Angels was met with a highly polarized critical response, characteristic of Jean-Claude Brisseau's work. While some critics lauded its ambitious philosophical themes and unique visual style, others found it pretentious, slow-paced, and difficult to engage with. Audiences were similarly divided, with many finding it esoteric and inaccessible.

• Praised for its bold artistic vision and philosophical depth.
• Criticized for its opaque narrative and challenging pacing.
• Seen by some as a profound exploration of female liberation and spirituality.
