- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …it is no surprise that while Verhoeven examines hypocrisy and corruption within the Church, the “Showgirls” director has also played up the more lurid aspects of this story. Call it “Stigmata-girls.”
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Benedetta is destined to be controversial. I just don’t know which part of it will be the most controversial.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: It’s a shame that Benedetta has been reduced to “the lesbian nun film” by so many because there’s a lot of interesting ideas about faith, politics, and the church.
- [New] | C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: In Benedetta, there’s always a presence of the erotic, the orgasmic, the sacred, and the queer, all intertwined in a subversive, surreal whirlwind.
- Joao Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It conveys interesting themes related to the cruelty of religious fervor, and how extreme devotion can limit people, making them feel guilty about their own bodies and their sexuality.
