Ann Hornaday Washington Post The power and the glory of "Corpus Christi" reside in the film's leading man, whose ineffable combination of wildness and purity makes for an absolutely electrifying central performance. Rated: 4/4 Feb 7, 2021 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald It's Shane, with more vodka and fewer horses. It's as Polish as a cabbage roll, yet startlingly universal. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Mark Feeney Boston Globe Even when events get intense, even violent, and they do, there's nothing abrupt. "Corpus Christi" never erupts. It unfolds. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Fernando Brenner EscribiendoCine Jan Komasa has risen to the podium of the most outstanding and interesting contemporary Polish filmmakers. Rated: 10/10 Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Olly Richards Sunday Times (UK) We might be in for a sappy redemption story, but this has darker twists to come. Oct 17, 2022 Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) Jan Komasa explores a crisis of spirituality and religion. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Gortee U Acualy poland can cook someting and it refuse like any cinema do that the character becomes like a professional at this job and goes more natutal way however i find one problem that some times it takes ages and goes to the boring part, however i like it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Alex M I recommend you get a copy of this film and with a couple of friends who enjoy a good film,a couple of beers/whatever sit back and take in this gem of cinematography...you'll talk about it afterwards and will have spent a memorable evening...MASSIVE thumbs up...1st July 2024, South East London ♡ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review isla s I thought this was quite a good film. Its pretty memorable, mainly for the ending - the very end is somewhat haunting, though brutal. I wouldn't recommend it to people especially squeamish about bloody violence, so be warned. There isn't a large amount of said violence throughout the film but it certainly does provide impact, when it is present. It is quite a thoughtful film, with some good dialogue and the like. It is pretty sobering and certainly a bit gritty but its a worthwhile watch certainly, so I'd recommend it, yes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review tom e This movie is powerful on many levels and I would predict unlike any movie you have viewed recently. Honestly, I am still processing what I have seen. Rental on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I haven't words for this film in order to forget it quickly. 5/10 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrific film, of the highest quality. Raw, realistic. Brilliant performance from the lead, among others, and real depth in the story-telling. A film that will restore your faith in cinema amongst all the other tripe out there. Would've given it five starts but for the relatively vague ending. But even that was pretty good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
