Movie Reviews

Salon.com - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirRequiem, the new film from German director Hans-Christian Schmid, is absolutely astonishing. See it if you possibly can.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsAn exorcism movie for the rest of us, the gripping German drama Requiem contains not a single special effect. It doesn't need one. It has terrific actors fully invested in a casual-seeming, docudramatic brand of storytelling, notably Sandra Hueller.
TV Guide Magazine - 9/10 by Ken FoxBogumil Godfrejow's raw cinematography and Huller's poignant, close-to-the-bone performance transform what might have been a morbid curiosity into an entirely enthralling, quietly terrifying experience.
Variety - 9/10 by Eddie CockrellStunningly played story of faith vs. family.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanRequiem is drawn from an incident that was also the basis for last year's demon-seed hit, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoAnybody who's ever seen a movie about exorcism knows that, in cases like this, the first thing to do is call 1-800-PRIEST, which the family does.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasThough its heroine's mysterious seizures and blackouts are terrifying in the way they undermine her quest for self-determination, Requiem isn't a horror movie so much as a thwarted coming-of-age story, like "Carrie" without the bloody reckoning.
Empire - 8/10 by Helen O'HaraA tragic tale of teen rebellion and misplaced faith, this is a sober and sobering account of a young girl's untimely end, made enthralling by great performances and restrained direction.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasIn its subtlety, complexity and dexterity, Requiem is a notably original work.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisRequiem is a moving study of a tortured young woman more at peace with medieval ritual than with modern medicine.
