| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezWhile the film itself remains a subtle attack on religious naivete, the director would never be as mindful of the possibilities of spiritual healing as he is here. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt lacks his brilliant wit and seems much less adventurous than his 60s masterpieces. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis is another fine example of Buñuel's powerful films made during his exile in Mexico. |
| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyThe film is beautiful, with all Builuel's peculiar sensuality in the face of things, which he can make, like faces, extraordinary and eloquent, ceaselessly expregsive and pregnant with this or that. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitThe surreal moments are relatively few in this wonderfully acted and underviewed masterpiece |
| New York TimesRenata AdlerIt is so grim that it lacks even the energy to present itself dramatically. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusThe most breathtaking cinematic cross-examination of faith I have ever seen not content to ignore religion as a non-issue, or to take cheap shots at its practitioners. |

| User ReviewJuha RBunuel, the great atheist, made one of the most beautifully spiritual films ever made that is right up there with Bresson's 'Diary of a Country Priest' and Tarkovski's 'Andrei Rublev'. Francisco Rabal gives a heart-breaking performance as a priest who is forced to leave his church behind and try to be pure and innocent in a chaotic world. |
| User ReviewMartin TOne of Bunuel's greatest achievements, which of course makes it one of the greatest. |
