Critics Consensus: Contrary to accusations of irreverence, The Last Temptation of Christ's biggest sins are actually languid pacing and some tinny dialogue -- but Martin Scorsese's passion for the subject shines through in an oft-transcendent rumination on faith.

Reviews

The Film Yap

Christopher Lloyd

Attacked relentlessly as heretical at its release, Martin Scorsese's fictional rumination on Jesus' inner life is actually a fairly staid interpretation -- and barely less bloody than Mel Gibson's.

The Last Temptation of Christ ... is a movie that matters.

...shockingly potent, leaving me in tears...
