Critics Consensus

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

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.

Dogma is more strained than funny.

Smith's sharp dialogue exposes the hypocrisy and quirks of organized religion, with his characters delivering memorable monologues that make audiences think.

Elements of Madness

... remains just as touching, thoughtful, and hilarious as ever and its return to theaters comes when not only do audiences need a reason to laugh, they need something that might just get them to rethink their approach to their fellow humans.

I was finally able to see the film with an audience and very clearly observe how Jason Mewes is just as valuable as Alan Rickman in this sprawling, irreverent look at religion, back when Smith still showed ability as a director.

Rated: 10/10

Amazing to see this movie again finally in a theater. Better than I remembered. Saw it at Kevin Smith’s Smodcastle in Atlantic Highlands NJ with live commentary by Smith and a hysterical and heartfelt Q&A session more than an hour long. Some great stories from a great movie. Can’t wait to see it again!!

Dogma as a film after 25 years still is a joy to watch. The cast include incredible performances all around and balance the comedy well with the more serious moments. The story as well is a stand out that does not necessarily mock religion but rather how beliefs can be dangerous but also powerful and the need to be malleable with them. For a film 25 years old, the cinematography still looks good and only really shows during scenes where there are TVs on since it was before the HD switch was made. The event itself, as many done by Mr. Smith, was a great time. the behind the scenes stories, audience energy, and conversations with Kevin made for a memorable time that wish would have gone even longer and would suggest making your way out to see this or any future tours he does with his films.

Dogma is the type of movie that can blend comedy with religion with a perfect cast. It's a ludicrously fun and smart film. It doesn't approach this by offending religion, specifically Christianity. Instead, it adds a playful charm to it, without being strictly serious.
