Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonSuch a sour, mindlessly inflated experience that seeing it may temporarily put you off historical movies.
Apollo Guide - 9/10 by Brian WebsterImpressive to look at, but in the end, it just doesn't ring true.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by F. X. FeeneyThe Messenger may be a caricature of theology, but then Besson is a cartoonist of genius.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by William ArnoldThe horror and spectacle of medieval battle has never been re-created on film before with such ghastly beauty.
TNT RoughCut - 8/10 by Matt KelseyIf all history lessons were this stylish, elementary school would have been a better place.
Variety - 7/10 by Todd McCarthyThe lack of a plausible leading lady is enough to sink what is otherwise an eye-catching, although heavily '90s-style, telling of one of history's most frequently filmed stories.
Village Voice - 7/10 by J. HobermanInexplicable as it is, the Joan of Arc story encourages contemplation of ourselves as a species. The Messenger is more apt to prompt meditation on the nature of show business.
Film.com - 7/10 by Sean MeansWhile The Messenger feeds our appetite for visual panache, it starves the soul.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kenneth TuranBlends great cinematic energy with an awkwardly mixed multinational cast and aggressively over-modernized dialogue.
Time - 7/10 by Richard SchickelA lively, nutty film, one full of clumsy, clanging battles filmed by the gifted, eccentric Besson with bloody brio.
