Movie Reviews

Newsweek - 9/10 by Jack KrollPassionate performances from De Niro and Jeremy Irons in this stark but thematically complex historical drama.
The Guardian - 8/10 by Alex von TunzelmannPowerful and atmospheric, if oddly structureless, The Mission is a magnificently filmed and strongly political view of the conflict between church, state and capitalism.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffThe two principal actors, Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons, work hard to animate their parts. But there is little to do. The Mission is probably the first film in which De Niro gives a bland, uninteresting performance.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatDeeply moving film that reminds us of the vitality of love, the miracle of grace, and the transforming power of acts of conscience.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Sheila BensonThe Mission is beautiful to look at, features impeccable period and setting detail, and offers a fascinating and tragic backstory, but it falls short in many simple human qualities. Overall, it's an impressive motion picture, but lacks the epic greatness sometimes associated with it.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Rita KempleyThe Mission is majestic, sometimes moving, sometimes mawkish. Should you choose to accept it, your religious tolerance will be tested. But there are rewards -- fascinating insights into the byzantine business of diplomacy and gorgeous photography of the roaring Iguazu Falls, an eden of fog and roaring water, and of the sleepy walled city of Cartagena.
Movie Metropolis - 6/10 by John J. Puccio...a little too pious for its own good. Be that as it may, the movie's heart is in the right place.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertAll that was needed to pull these elements together was a structure that would clearly define who the characters were, what they stood for and why we should care about them. Unfortunately, that is all that is missing.
Moviehole - 6/10 by Clint MorrisA near-masterpiece. De Niro is excellent.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Gene SiskelThe script is based on a little-known but nonetheless intriguing historical incident in mid-18th century South America, pitting avaricious colonialists against the Jesuit order of priests. The fundamental problem is that the script is cardboard thin, pinning labels on its characters and arbitrarily shoving them into stances to make plot points.
