Risen Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this biblical thriller for the most part avoids the simplistic storytelling and amateurish production that have plagued so many Bible movies of yore

  by Ann Hornaday [Washington Post ]

• Risen is more entertaining than Bible-adjacent stories are usually allowed to be

  Review rate : B- by Christian Holub [Entertainment Weekly ]

• Risen is an odd hybrid. It has none of the violence of The Passion Of The Christ. It seems a little ike an old-school biblical epic on a smaller scale, although at the outset, it feels as if it is drawing on contemporary tensions in the Middle East

  by Philippa Hawker [Sydney Morning Herald ]

• Risen has low-wattage charm as long as it's working the supernatural mystery angle, helped by the fact that it has just enough of a sense of humor about itself

  Review rate : C+ by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky [A.V. Club ]

• it's intended primarily for an audience of Christian believers, but genuine drama precedes the preaching

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• "Risen" veers so far off the Bible's path that it might as well be a tale of this 13th apostle, called Marty, who was in charge of snacks and mini-golf reservations

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• "Risen" is a smart look at the origins of personal faith

  by Rick Bentley [Detroit Free Press ]
