Critics' Reviews

63
Boston Globe: Jay Carr
Could have been a classy thriller. But all the Aramaic in the world can't save it from its own pounding slickness.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan
Essentially a late-'90s MTV version of "The Exorcist," a half-serious, half-silly piece of business that keeps us involved despite (or maybe because of) being more than a little overdone.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Desmond Ryan
Begins with a scene of mass repentance, but the real sin here is a profligate waste of talent.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
Possibly the funniest movie ever made about Catholicism. It confuses the phenomenon of stigmata with satanic possession.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Andy Seiler
The scariest thing about this appalling and seemingly endless movie is that you paid for your ticket and now have to sit through it.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Michael Atkinson
Despite exposition delivered so redundantly and witlessly you think you're in a Kaplan class, Stigmata manages to be incoherent.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Mary Elizabeth Williams
A leaden exercise in what can go wrong when movies attempt to explore mysterious forces with dated special effects and easy symbolism...a soggy mess.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Stephen Hunter
A vicious anti-Catholic diatribe disguised as an audition tape for MTV.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Stephen Holden
(Patricia Arquette's) irritated reactions to her dire situation have all the force of a pet owner's whiny complaints when her feline refuses to use the cat box.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: Jane Hogan
Save yourself from this mess.Read Full Review »
