| IndieWireJude DryBoth bloody and/or creepy thrills are few and far between, but striking images and standout performances keep it cohesive. |
| The PlaylistLena WilsonThis high-concept horror too easily crosses over from charmingly erratic to nonsensical. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIn a film lacking in real frights, the pathos of a young novitiate’s suicide attempt hits you hard, because it’s one of the few moments in the lovely and lushly-detailed Consecration that makes you feel something. |
| The Film StageChristian GallichioWhile it has interesting things to say about cycles of abuse and the overlap between the church and abusive parents, those ideas are lost in a haze of non-linear storytelling. Even with such problems, this is compelling in individual scenes; if only they added up to anything. |
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerThe meager surprises it does contain aren’t particularly effective, considering that early clues suggest only one possible twist and the proceedings do little to mask it. |
| ColliderMarco Vito OddoSmith is still a competent director, and Consecration can boast some moments of brilliance sprinkled all over it. However, the messy script drags Consecration down, and fans still expecting a new Triangle will have to wait a little longer. |
| Paste MagazineNatalia KeoganThough it does hint at the toxicity and conspiratorial nature of a powerful institution, it never finds root in overt observations. It handles too many threads—childhood tragedy, murder cover-ups, clandestine spiritual rites—without the dexterity to effectively weave them together. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanIn Consecration Jena Malone doesn’t just sport a casually impeccable British accent. She becomes British — her mood and manners, the way she rocks the sweaters and bangs and debonair politeness. She creates a compelling character, only to see the film’s director, Christopher Smith, swallow her up in all the ecclesiastical gothic malarkey. |
| The New York TimesBrandon YuThe plot, as a result, can’t quite find its momentum; it doesn’t help that most of the film’s scares fall flat on a visual and technical level. |
| Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeConsecration ends up not just gimmicky but derivative of Christopher Smith’s own prior work. |
