What to Know

Critics Consensus

Three Christs is far from an unholy mess, but this fact-based drama forsakes its talented cast with a disappointingly facile treatment of genuinely interesting themes.

Peddles the sort of heartstring-pulling uplift traditionally reserved for year-end awards hopefuls. Go to Full Review

These are all tremendous, longtime character actors who really get the chance to sink their teeth into this meaty work... [But] it takes a turn from which it never recovers. Go to Full Review

To the extent that [the experiment] was an interesting thing to do, this is an interesting movie. Go to Full Review

A dim, derivative drama about human psychology... Go to Full Review
Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post 04/08/2022
In spite of the doctor’s ultimate lesson in humility, this is a sad and upsetting story that in the end, has little point. Go to Full Review

3/5
For all its foibles and faults though, Three Christs is still an, at times, engrossing watch, anchored by three truly under-rated American actors at their best. Go to Full Review

Kyle M Jun 22 The initial compels only found proclamation and reconciling comfort per the subject’s fascination with humbling observation without a cynical ground to start with except being rather critical towards the associated medical field, therefore not striving to be affective as similar, more moving films even by its decently-written and well-performed focus. (B-) See more David H Dec 13 This is a good drama with a well written script. I also liked the effort that went into portraying 1950s Michigan. The asylum where most of the scenes take place is a lovely building. I also enjoyed seeing the doctor's interactions with his daughers at home. I wish there'd been a little more of that. See more Carol C 07/11/2024 Learned somehting new. The film is based on a true story too.. See more Leta S @Leeeta 08/20/2023 I just watched this tonight and is actually a pretty good movie. One of RG's better movies and PD/WG superb as is their norm. See more Rosana B 06/17/2023 Uma linda e triste história baseada em fatos reais, lembrou-me muito o nacional em homenagem a Nice da Silveira, extremamente emocionante, em vários momentos nos faz chorar e sentir toda a empatia do mundo, não só pelos pacientes, como por toda a equipe, contagiada, apesar de seu tratamento baseado em algumas nuances fakes ter sido um pouco controversa acabamos por apoiar o 100% pela humanização do paciente e por atingir os fins, apesar dos meios não serem tão escrupulosos eticamente falando...
