An irreverent biopic vividly realized through fantastic psychedelia and handmade sets with an ever-topical feminist approach, Revelations of Divine Love recounts the life of 14th-century mystic and philosopher Julian of Norwich, whose account of religious ecstasy, plague, and revolt is considered to be the first book to be authored by a woman. The film envisions the life of Julian from her illness and the onset of her godly visions, through the years as she indulges in her desire to write and becomes a revered and holy figure to those in her town and beyond the city walls.

Given its uncommon lineage, Revelations of Divine Love stands as a bonafide curio for Christian cinema of this moment. ... Emanates genuine humility and an underdog spirit that speaks quietly to those who are willing to listen.

Clever stylistic choices, combined with the stagey art direction by Grant Stoops and eerie score by Zachary Koeber, is an effect nothing short of mesmerizing.

[A] remarkable new film... With its slow pace and the deliberate diction of her performers, Golum has produced a film of classical rigor.

With her sophomore feature, Caroline Golum delivers a level of sincerity—both in message and execution—that few filmmakers are capable of achieving.
