Hadewijch Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Dumont, as if trying to make sure nobody wants to see his movie, named it after a female Flemish poet from the 13th century, but - please read the rest of this sentence - the movie is set in modern times.
Film Journal International
David Noh
From would-be nun to fundamentalist accomplice is the unlikely but nonetheless absorbing premise of this stately spiritual study.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Should delight Dumont's fans. For others, it will take a bit of getting used to. The effort will prove to be worthwhile.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's a beautiful and mysterious work with a rhythm all its own.
New York Press
Armond White
Hadewijch goes from austere images of a wintry world to remarkably beautiful images of post-rainfall lushness. From desolation to revelation, humanism becomes visible in every living thing.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
With Hadewijch, [Dumont] endorses something like the Dardenne brothers' rugged, squalid secular humanism, offering the barrier-breaking embrace as vague alternative to Despair, Church, or Capital.
Boxoffice Magazine
Barbara Goslawski
The story of a young girl's spiritual devotion and the distorted manifestations of faith that follow, Hadewijch maintains the cool reserve that has made director Bruno Dumont famous.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Religious obsession meets raging teen hormones and an irrepressible desire for a date with the deity. And not always with dramatic clarity, while decidedly on the pathological when not celibate kooky erotic side.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Dumont suppresses any information that could bring any of his stick-figure characters to life; he seems to be offering lessons about fanaticism, wealth, power, poverty, and politics, but is merely drawing connections by numbers.
Variety
Justin Chang
An austere, deeply questioning examination of a devout young woman having an intense crisis of faith.
Film Threat
Nick Antosca
I didn't like the movie enough to wonder about it too long.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
Lucid and startling
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An austere and powerful French film about the dangers of religious zealotry and the mysteries of divine grace.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
For a film about the brimming over of one girl's emotional fervour, it does surprisingly little to elicit a 'gut response' from the audience.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Ultimately seems just as calculated and mechanical a pose as Dumont's previous efforts.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
Dumont's patient, suggestive approach transcends mere provocation: this is a film about absence with some real weight to it.
