Critics Consensus: The chemistry between leads David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson do live up to The X-Files' televised legacy, but the roving plot and droning routines make it hard to identify just what we're meant to believe in.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

I want to believe there are still quality X-Files stories to tell, even if this one wasn’t. I want to believe this, but like the protagonists in the movie, my beliefs are conflicted with doubt and reservation.

…the story may be missing some beats, but there’s still an interesting chemistry between the leads, and the conflict between science and religion is an edgy seam to mine…

One of the major criticisms levelled at The X-Files: I Want To Believe is that it is like an episode of the television series - and a mediocre episode at that. I have to say that this is true.

Having not seen a single episode of The X-Files before, this does work as a (mostly) standalone film. If only it weren't such a slog before getting to the bonkers climax.

Devoid of hardcore action scenes or graphic violence, the film instead offers genuine moments of psychological anxiety.
