| New York TimesBen KenigsbergEmploying bursts of Bach and English-language narration, this lulling, informative documentary never fully grapples with its topic’s complexity. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterFascinating. Anyone with an interest in architecture, history or religion/spirituality will find much to appreciate. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelIt would be hard to make the Sagrada Familia look prosaic, but Mystery of Creation finds particularly cinematic angles for some truly dramatic visual compositions. |
| VarietyJay WeissbergWhere Haupt succeeds is in conveying the passion felt by everyone who works on the Sagrada, from foremen to sculptors. |
| Canada.comJay StoneSagrada plays like a video you might buy at the cathedral gift shop that outlines the history of the project. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonA stone-faced look at the most confounding, fascinating and controversial edifice still being built today, Stefan Haupt's documentary tours Antonio Gaudí's colossal cathedral but never offers the spirit or thrill this weird wonder deserves. |
| User ReviewEvan OThis documentary is a fascinating look at the Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Basilica and Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family), probably the most well-known of Antoni Gaudí's works. Not only does the writer/director Stefan Haupt interview the current chief architect Jordi Bonet y Armengol, but the foreman Jaume Torreguitart and sculptor Etsuro Sotoo, giving a much more intimate portrait of this multifaceted, multidimensional work. |
| User ReviewWS WEven though sounding a bit pretentious & loose-blending in materials, still good to learn more about this superlative craftsmanship. |
| User ReviewM CGreat that you can watch a documentary about this. |
| User ReviewMartin IA fairly average documentary about an astounding building. |
