Outside Satan Ratings & Reviews
Floating World
Dustin Chang
But Dumont's film strips down its religious undertones and goes for something more interesting and ambiguous. Not that there is no beauty in showing religious faith, but it's helluva more interesting if the protagonist might as well be a devil!
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
I find the movie mind-blowing, though it will likely alienate as many viewers as it impresses.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
God works in strange ways, especially when Bruno Dumont directs him. Or is that the devil?
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The ambiguity of the episodic story with its sparse dialog, combined with the visually stunning landscape photography, makes "Hors Satan" a compelling, if overly long, composition.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"Hors Satan" could be grouped with Carlos Reygadas' "Silent Light" (itself based on Dreyer's "Ordet") and the films of Robert Bresson, but his minimalism makes his meaning more elusive, inviting less emotion than those filmmakers.
Film Comment Magazine
Mark Asch
It's difficult to feel transported by the impossible when the film's world is already so clearly governed by the arbitrary.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Controversial yet meditative French drama makes inscrutability its raison d'etre.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Inarticulate characters, long blank stares, forced camera angles and allegorical nonsense make up this pretentious study in quasi-religious ennui.
Variety
Rob Nelson
Maddening, pretentious, hypnotic and transcendent in roughly equal measure.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Despite its pictorial intensity and the extremity of some of its scenes, the film proceeds in a mood of detachment, turning the suffering physical beings under its scrutiny into abstractions.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Hors Satan is stark, strange and uncompromisingly personal. It's also vivid and unforgettable.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
As its title suggests, Satan grapples with the existence and nature of evil in the world, but it's hard to take such weighty matters seriously when they're explored with all the subtlety and grace of an anti-abortion pamphlet.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Dumont's rigorous, serious attention to the mysteries of good, evil, and faith rewards those willing to be confounded.
Village Voice
Jonathan Kiefer
Ultimately less an arty provocation than a secular invocation, Outside Satan seems almost helplessly exploratory, an honest account of groping for grace.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
Provocative French filmmaker Dumont pushes boundaries even further with an astonishing approach to the Christian narrative (the title translates as Outside Satan), mixing the sacred and profane to shake up audiences and get us thinking.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
The problem with "Outside Satan" is that the filmmaker has remained faithful to expectations without enlivening them.
Slant Magazine
John Semley
Bruno Dumont's employment of his bucolic French backdrop here attends to Hors Satan's muddying spiritual ambiguity.
Cinema Autopsy
Thomas Caldwell
It is a difficult yet intriguing film with deliberately strange and ambiguous characters who challenge notions of good and evil, and how we perceive spirituality and madness.
House Next Door
Glenn Heath Jr.
Dumont extends the constricting trajectory of Hors Satan for an uncomfortable amount of time, drifting through this physically and emotionally barren space in long tracking shots.
