Lourdes Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
[Jessica Hausner's] thought experiment is an emotionally potent one.
Image
Jeffrey Overstreet
Hausner frequently composes pictures in which our view is cut off by a wall, a pillar, or a pilgrim ... but like God's silence, these obstructions remain impenetrable.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
The withholding of judgment persists across Lourdes, which is comic, haunting, sweet, pious, unsettling, agnostic, and wholly deadpan at various moments.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
[An] aesthetically and tonally controlled knockout.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
One of the most observant -- and enigmatic -- movies of the year.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
An odd, dispassionate religious film that will likely be more powerful for skeptics than true believers, it manages to most strongly suggest the possibility of grace by so clinically observing its opposite.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The film was primarily shot on location, which gives it a heaviness, an historic weight, that dominates the movie much more than anything to do with character or plot does.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
In a film rich with provocative questions, Hausner audaciously examines the ambivalent nature of miracles. Are they gifts from a loving God or random occurrences, bereft of any moral or meaning?
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Beautifully led by birdlike Sylvie Testud as an ailing young woman in a wheelchair, every character (pilgrim and helper alike) exhibits a soul. And shaped with confident talent by the Austrian filmmaker, every serenely composed shot matters.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A powerful and poignant drama about Lourdes, miracles, faith, grace, and the mysteries surrounding cures that go beyond reason and explanation.
Critic's Notebook
Robert Levin
So restrained and reliant on its carefully calibrated tableaux that one longs for the tiniest thread of melodrama.
Boxoffice Magazine
Pam Grady
Hausner's tale is as enigmatic as one of Christine's smiles, its meaning open to interpretation. Whatever her intentions, what she delivers is a graceful, elegant film.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A paralyzed young woman with MS stands up and walks in Lourdes, but it'll be a real miracle if anyone manages to stay awake throughout this extravagantly dull film.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Visually rich, provocative and engrossing with a quietly tender, radiant performance by the reliable-as-always Sylvie Testud.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Unexpected consequences result from a possible miracle at Lourdes. Challenging but even-handed look at religious faith.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Lourdes starts from the unexpected position of believing miracles are possible, but it doesn't paper over the religious and practical problems they raise -- for the blessed and bereft alike.

striking
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Jessica Hausner, an Austrian working here in French, wants to explore the mysteries of life, not its certainties.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
Lourdes ultimately eschews rigorous religious inquiry to study the mechanics of envy and frustrated desire.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
A deliberately paced examination of Catholic mysticism with sharp sprinkles of magical realism.
