The New York Times by Beatrice Loayza
The film runs through plot points in appropriately spectacular, if mechanical, fashion. A shoddy script and an overwhelming reliance on clichés, however, make this would-be blockbuster feel incredibly cheap.
The Irish Times by Donald Clarke
It is made with respect. It has educational value. But the film-makers, working with a modest budget, have made sure to include much head-splitting action.
For a film that aims to promote religious diversity and freedom of thought, its metronomic alternation between time frames, narrative slavishness and laughable coda have a suffocating sense of orthodoxy.
With scores of faith-based films about Christianity hitting movie screens every year, the sheer novelty of The Lady of Heaven makes it worth seeing, just as background on a religion most of us know very little about. That’s where the film excels, even if the many obstacles the production had to get around distracted one and all to the extent that they somewhat botched the messaging.
The celebration of a lifetime!
Hope is a weapon, survival is a victory.
A failed stand-up comedian is driven insane, turning to a life of crime in chaos in Gotham City.
Two British soldiers race to deliver a message that will stop over 1,000 men from walking into a German ambush.
A poignant love story set in and around an old cinema on the South Coast of England in the 1980s.
