- Excerpt: Cuando pensamos en ese raro subgénero cinematográfico que son las películas de Semana Santa, generalmente recordamos títulos donde la gente camina en sandalias, viste túnicas y usa barbas largas, incluso con la actualización que implica contar esas historias bíblicas que todos conocemos en animación 3D.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Belgian director Tim Mielants applies a gentle touch to harsh subject matter…skillfully bringing us into Bill’s internal struggle with living in a community that turn a blind eye to abuse, fearful of an all powerful Catholic Church.
- Kirsten Hawkes @ Parent Previews
- Excerpt: The biggest problem with this film is that Bill’s silent internal battle is a bit too silent…I give Cillian Murphy full marks for projecting Bill’s struggle through his eyes and body language, but I would have enjoyed more talk to balance out all the heavily amplified breathing.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: An intimate, believable drama, which also takes place during the Christmas season as a sort of commentary on the hypocrisy of the Church.
