In 1980, Ted Bundy was sentenced to death by electrocution. In the years that followed, he agreed to disclose the details of his crimes, but only to one man. During the early days of the agency's criminal profiling unit, FBI analyst Bill Hagmaier met with the incarcerated Ted Bundy in the hopes of understanding the psychology of the serial killer and providing closure for the victim's families. As Hagmaier delves into Bundy's dark and twisted mind, a strange and complicated relationship develops that neither man expected. Based on actual transcripts of interviews between FBI analyst Bill Hagmaier and the incarcerated Ted Bundy, No Man of God is nothing short of riveting.

Critics Consensus

No Man of God may not offer much in terms of an original take on this oft-told story, but excellent performances make it tough to turn away.

Guardian

Both actors contribute knife-sharp timing and the kind of intensity needed to make this essentially two-man setup work.

Rated: 4/5

Austin Chronicle

It's subtle, and may not be enough for the growing group of critics and viewers that worry that the cinematic obsession with serial killers ends up lionizing them, but it makes Bundy what he always was: pathetic.

Rated: 3/5

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Interesting. It's not bloody, it's not gory... It's about this process that this profile went through.

Paul Klein

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

It never feels like he's taken to task, but in a way Sealey is exploring the darker aspects of mankind, and the film, much like most people in his orbit, is seduced by Bundy's mannered, and often witty conversations.

Rated: 3/5

David Gonzalez

The Cinematic Reel

Amber Sealey’s No Man of God examines the final years of Bundy’s (Luke Kirby) life in a psychological thriller that looks to answer the question of Why? rather than the glorification of his murders.

Rated: 3/4

Daily Grindhouse

No Man of God argues that serial killers...are regular people who do terrible things, and we must reckon with both their humanity and the troubling knowledge that they aren’t as different from the people around us as we would like to believe.

Exploring the darker elements of human nature is a well-worn genre. But there’s nothing gratuitous about this film, and that’s what sets it apart. Like FBI agent Bill Hagmaier, who claims that he just wants ‘to understand’, the makers of this film seem perfectly sincere in their exploration of the nature of evil. The acting is faultless, the rest of the production very close to it—it’s hard to imagine a better handling of this subject. (31/1/2022)

Slow paced, ponderous documentary-style movie. Two decent performances by Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby. A worthy watch but not gripping.

Great performance from Luke Kirby. Elijah Wood on the other side makes great trying not to be Frodo, until they ask him to put some more drama, and then he could not not be Frodo.
