Three Christs Ratings & Reviews
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Peddles the sort of heartstring-pulling uplift traditionally reserved for year-end awards hopefuls.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
"Three Christs" delicately balances humor and the dramatic need for human connection as it expertly explores the disorder of paranoid schizophrenia.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The patients seem more like central casting loonies than authentic ones.
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
Alternatively treacly and maudlin.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The setup at least allows for a bunch of fine actors to really chew the scenery during group therapy sessions.
Boston Herald
Stephen Schaefer
Director and co-writer Jon Avnet fails to make this decidedly odd material into a credible experience.
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
It's unfortunate that the film itself isn't as piercing and inventive as the performers inside of it, but it's reassuring that such talent can still shine even when encased in otherwise milquetoast surroundings.
The New York Review of Books
Rick Moody
When Avnet's film takes the same approach, and just lets them talk, it is painful, noble, and beautiful, not least because of the great performances of the three schizophrenic characters.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
These are all tremendous, longtime character actors who really get the chance to sink their teeth into this meaty work... [But] it takes a turn from which it never recovers.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
To the extent that [the experiment] was an interesting thing to do, this is an interesting movie.
Observer
Rex Reed
The movie may be too understated and inert for its own good, but the actors are uniformly exemplary.
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
Three Christs opts in for frustratingly broad characters that feel like half-considered caricatures, while Jeff Russo's sentimental, strings-heavy score flattens whatever modest edge the movie might have had.
Variety
Peter Debruge
As if it weren't bad enough that "Three Christs" were boring, it's impossible to believe, and for that, there is no cure.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Like the original experiment, this film fails when it tries to impose a conclusion, rather than letting its meaning reveal itself naturally.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The director, Jon Avnet, who wrote the script with Eric Nazarian, succeeds in keeping the movie watchable in spite of its contrivances.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
Follows a relatively well-tread formula, which is perhaps why it feels so inert. It's a good, relative surface-level reading of events, but the man-on-a-crusade approach feels so much more dramatic than it needs to be.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Just an odd mess of a movie. That you feel anything at all is a tribute to the acting talent of Dinklage and Goggins, who occasionally make us care.
AV Club
Vikram Murthi
There's no salvation to be found in this story of a sane man learning about his own limitations from the insane-only suffering.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
By the end, it's as if a good doctor's god complex has been taken up by the film itself.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Call it Lord, Interrupted or One Flew Over the Crucifix, this is a tedious slog that fails even to hit the emotional marks of the most formulaic nut-house movie.
