Critics Consensus

The power of Crowe compels up to a point in this metatextual riff on the possession genre, but The Exorcism's greatest sin is ultimately falling back on clichés.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Like Godard’s Tout Va Bien, the (figuratively and literally) storied set can make the viewer feel like a voyeur. The pacing can be too stately, but an impressive ensemble working through a surfeit of good ideas compensates for the lack of jump scares.

Rated: 4/5

What's frustrating about this is that it had potential.

Time Out

No self-respecting demon would want their IMDb page stunk up with what follows: a half-lit, unholy mess in which nothing is explained and nothing makes much sense.

Combines horror, psychological drama, and Russell Crowe. [Full review in Spanish]

Film Feeder

Hopefully one day, we will get an exorcism flick that actually does something original with the formula. The Exorcism, however, is a sure sign that there’s much more that needs to be done in order to bring this kind of movie back to life.

Rated: 2/5

Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)

The hall-of-mirrors between real and imagined and autobiographical and fictional is discarded for green vomit and swirling furniture kabuki.

Everything you can ask for in a possession horror film. It was almost as good as The Pope's Exorcist. And that's saying a lot.

At least was a different story, but dislike the sloppy work that they didn’t really study the theology of the church that a man, specially fallen man would be able to perform an an exorcism and of course he failed at it, but he stuck a crucifix fixing the said and stomach I thought that was pretty shitty

Pretty good flick. Looking forward to the director’s cut that will add about 30 minutes back in.

It was overall a great concept for a movie and well written, loved Russel Crowe! It just felt a little rushed, if it had maybe 30 more minutes to it, it would feel maybe less hurried to get to the final climactic scene. Overall it was good! I probably wouldnt watch it again.
