"In the end, one can respect Gibson's high intentions and dedicated work, while remaining spiritually and dramatically unmoved by the result."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"The Passion of the Christ is powerfully moving and fanatically obtuse in equal doses."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

ReelViews / James Berardinelli:
A gripping, powerful motion picture -- arguably the most forceful depiction of Jesus' death ever to be committed to film. It leaves an indelible imprint on the psyche; viewers of this movie may never look at a crucifix in quite the same way.

New York Daily News / Jami Bernard:
Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is the most virulently anti-Semitic movie made since the German propaganda films of World War II. It is sickening.
