The Apostle Ratings & Reviews
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Shocking in its unbridled, electrifying energy and raw emotion.
Houston Community Newspapers
Gary Brown
I cannot recall a movie so dominated by the performance of one actor (Robert Duvall) as this one.
Boulder Weekly
Thomas Delapa
Some kind of acting miracle ... One doesn't have to be a churchgoer, or even a Christian, to be moved by the power of Duvall's great performance.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
A labor of love coming to fruition after 13 years, this is Robert Duvall's third and best directorial effort, a sharply observed exploration of a preacher who embarks on a redemption odyssey after committing a crime.
Looking Closer
Jeffrey Overstreet
... may be the most unapologetic, intimate portrayal of a religious man in the history of American cinema.
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
Judith Egerton
As the charismatic Sonny, Duvall brilliantly shouts the praises of Jesus.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
There are scattered inspired moments throughout this two-and-a-half hour epic but, like many actor-directors, Duvall is so in love with his material -- and his star -- that he just can't say 'cut.'
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Disturbing but thought-provoking depiction of genuine faith coexisting with sin and carnality like the troubling fiction of Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, and Flannery O'Connor, a vindication of belief without being a vindication of every believer.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"The Apostle" is like a lesson in how movies can escape from convention and penetrate the hearts of rare characters.
