Critics Consensus

Provocative and audacious, Dogma is an uneven but thoughtful religious satire that's both respectful and irreverent.

Bilge Ebiri

New York Magazine/Vulture

What makes Dogma unique is that it’s Smith’s voice attempting to know the mind of God.

Todd McCarthy

Variety

A very vulgar pro-faith comedy rather than a sacrilegious goof, Dogma is an extraordinarily uneven film that significant cutting might be able to transform into a playable one.

Chicago Reader

I couldn't care less whether Smith's metaphysical conceits about the war between Good and Evil are those of a devout believer or an atheist. The bottom line is that they're puerile.

Blasphemous? No. Impertinent? Yes. Is “Dogma” (1999) Kevin Smith’s best film? Absolutely!

Phoenix Magazine

It’s a little overlong, and laden with some really dumb gags and gross-out effects. But there’s something moving about Smith’s grappling with the contradictions of a religion and tradition he clearly loves.

Screen Rant

Dogma has all the raunchy humor you'd expect from a Kevin Smith movie, but it's also a thoughtful satire of the institutions that warp people's faith.

Rated: 8/10

It’s great to see this film back in theaters. Especially because the message about how people have manipulated religion to their narratives is as timely now as it was when it was released.
