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.

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.

Leslie Felperin Guardian Both actors contribute knife-sharp timing and the kind of intensity needed to make this essentially two-man setup work. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Richard Whittaker 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 Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Interesting. It's not bloody, it's not gory... It's about this process that this profile went through. Aug 28, 2021 Full Review 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 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review 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 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Jessica Scott 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.

Julian S While the film feels lacking in some way, Kirby’s interpretation of Bundy is impeccable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Kal S 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) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Paul B Slow paced, ponderous documentary-style movie. Two decent performances by Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby. A worthy watch but not gripping. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Bob Definitely looking forward to a sequel. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Mickey S Good. Good acting. Well made. Worth the watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Frederico G 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
