| Village VoiceMichael NordineCliff Curtis is appealingly low-key as Christ, humble in a way that the film around him would have done well to emulate. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookWhat a faith-based movie should be: Compelling, intelligent and thoughtful. |
| The Monitor (McAllen, TX)Brooke CorsoFortunately for the story, Clavius's internal struggle and the investigation itself are intense enough to compensate for the dearth of cultural thoughtfulness. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoA crisis of belief ensues, as Clavius, accompanied by his aide (Tom Felton, Draco in the "Harry Potter" movies) sets out to solve the mystery surrounding why Jesus' body disappeared from its sealed tomb. It's "Law and Order: Judean Desert 33 A.D." |
| The Film StageMichael SnydelEven at its most transparently manipulative, Risen doesn’t feel punishing. It’s universally good-natured without feeling too conniving. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyIt's interesting watching the combo of bits and elements from The Bible, "The X-Files" and "Logan's Run" come together in an unlikely cinematic platter. (Full Content Review for Parents - Sexual Content, Violence, etc. - Also Available) |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...isn't the worst movie former Kevin Costner collaborator Kevin Reynolds has ever made. And I guarantee that Hollywood would love for you to see it. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniRisen is a movie about the resurrection that neither finger wags nor talks down to you, whose main message is "don't be a jerk." That's worthy of praise in my book. |
| Seattle TimesSoren AndersonFiennes is superb, portraying a man slowly transformed by events that shake his beliefs about the world and his place in it to their core. |
| The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenWith intelligence and great moviemaking skill, [Reynolds] has created a classic variation on a venerated ancient theme. |
