Leave your thoughts about The Good Catholic.
| ObserverRex ReedThe Good Catholic is a sober, thoughtful and well-made little gem about a young priest torn between his dedication to God and his sudden physical and emotional attraction to an unconventional woman who forces him to question his faith and his purpose. It’s a small film in every way, but I found it riveting. |
| NUVO NewsweeklyRebecca BerfangerThankfully there's a somewhat compelling story here for you. |
| CinegarageErick EstradaThe story is very plain and without any type of audiovisual discourse and feels more like a telefilm. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... deliberately paced drama that likely won't generate much interest beyond the faithful. |
| The New York TimesMonica CastilloFortunately, Mr. Spicer’s earnest performance bolsters many of the weaker spots in Mr. Shoulberg’s script. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweAn unlikely romantic comedy concerning a young parish priest struggling to discover the true scope of his religious calling, The Good Catholic doesn't so much challenge conventions as reinforce them. |
| Slant MagazineDerek SmithDespite The Good Catholic‘s interesting macro approach compared to other films of its ilk, it’s far less successful on a micro level. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThough there’s never any real doubt that the rules of rom-com (even the platonic kind) and the sanctity of Catholicism will be given a once-over, what’s annoying in this otherwise well-meaning movie is how the barbs become a kind of armor against real feeling, and the bland direction offers nothing. |
