Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“This is not a sermon or a homily, but a visualization of the central event in the Christian religion. Take it or leave it.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“Gibson has made a big, bold, nightmarishly beautiful film not just about the dawn of the Christian faith, but about the awful tendency of human communities (wherever and whenever in the world they may exist) toward self-preservation, intolerance and mob rule.”
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly · 90
“A gripping, powerful motion picture -- arguably the most forceful depiction of Jesus' death ever to be committed to film. It leaves an indelible imprint on the psyche; viewers of this movie may never look at a crucifix in quite the same way.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 88
“If an age produces the renditions of classic stories that reflect those times, then The Passion of the Christ, which is violent, contentious, emotional, extreme and highly proficient, must be the Jesus movie for this era.”
Todd McCarthy, Variety · 80
“A serious, handsome, excruciating film that radiates total commitment.”
Richard Corliss, Time · 80

“The key thing that people need get their head around is that it's true to the source material. Jesus's death is depicted and understood to be unimaginably brutal. Gibson balances that with historical accuracy and traditional imagery masterfully imo. I get why it's difficult to just buy the story's premise straight up. **God becomes man and is met with torture and death.** Because it's not just a story, it's the most influential event in human history true or not. But if you take the premise at ”

“**_The Suffering of The Christ_** Helmed by Mel Gibson, “The Passion of the Christ” (2004) details the excruciating last 12 hours of the life of Jesus (Yeshua) Christ as detailed in the Bible, as well as various devotional writings. Jim Caviezel stars in the eponymous role and it’s hard to imagine a more fitting person in the part. Also notable are Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene, Hristo Naumov Shopov as Pontius Pilate and Jarreth Merz as Simon of Cyrene. Obviously, this isn’t a fun movi”
