Review of Dogma (1999) by Victoria P — 12 Nov 2011
Not quite as good as I remember it being but perhaps still one of Kevin Smith's stronger efforts (although it still trails behind Chasing Amy and the original Clerks). Paradoxically, it may also be the film that showcases him at his weakest - at least as a director.
Smith's style behind the camera has always been very simple and spartan and that doesn't translate well to special effects and action sequences (and there's plenty of both here). At times, it's like playing a game to see how quickly you can spot the boom mike.
Still, if you can get past these deficiencies, you will find that the film still provides a funny and thought-provoking experience that is surprisingly pro-faith but perhaps, anti-organized religion..
.I'll return to this when I can gather my thoughts a little better.
