Leave your thoughts about The Third Miracle.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasHas the gritty, intimate feel of an Eastern European film--and packs the power of a genuine revelation. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyIt's a handsome film with a palpable core of piety, but it isn't as successful in depicting secular events as spiritual ones. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere is a rarity, a film about religion that is neither pious nor sensational, simply curious. No satanic possessions, no angelic choirs, no evil spirits, no lovers joined beyond the grave. Just a man doing his job. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittHarris and Heche make an interesting team--- and the picture reaps the benefit of their creative performances |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganWell-acted but unsatisfying drama about researching a potential saint |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaOs personagens são capazes de levantar questões cujas respostas não são nada fáceis de se encontrar. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeySo profoundly does The Third Miracle live up to its title that Agnieszka Holland's exceptional meditation upon a priest's crisis of faith might win the endorsement of archdiocese and agnostic alike. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumSuggests that finding one good priest is a feasibility, but it takes a miracle to meet one as hubba-hubba as Ed Harris. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorHarris and Heche are simply electric together, and "Hill Street Blues'" Charles Haid is wonderfully brash as the venal bishop. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThis intelligent, well-acted movie is not helped by the fact that its story in some ways parallels that of "Stigmata," the trashy supernatural spookfest that flared briefly at the box office earlier this year. |
