Village Voice by J. Hoberman

A movie of long, expressive silences, Divine Intervention articulates things that have never been articulated, at least on the screen.

75

Boston Globe by Ty Burr

The Academy accepts submissions only from real countries, and Palestine isn't one. This is as good a joke, and as dark, as anything in the movie.
