Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004) by Kenneth Turan for Los Angeles Times — 24 Apr 2011
In effect, aspects of Gibson's creative makeup -- his career-long interest in martyrdom and the yearning for dramatic conflict that make him an excellent actor, coupled with his belief in the Gospels' literal truth -- have sideswiped this film.
What is left is a film so narrowly focused as to be inaccessible for all but the devout.
