With the whole film shot on a static, handheld video camera, both the content and execution fail to keep the attention, and at only 68 minutes long, Father Amorth still manages to drag incessantly. February 28, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

William Friedkin plays with good taste and his filmmaking agonizes towards the end of this 'true' documentary. [Full review in Spanish]. January 15, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The Devil and Father Amorth is pretty much just a glorified DVD extra with flimsy production values and a sense of self-aggrandizement. October 30, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

I get the feeling that Friedkin decided to put the footage out there at the last minute which may explain the documentary's crude form. For those with faith Friedkin's documentary is downright chilling. October 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The Devil and Father Amorth is more than just a schlocky oddity, it's a fascinating exploration of the human brain and the power of religion. July 27, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

While providing incredibly rare insight, The Devil and Father Amorth is an overly-jumbled, overwrought documentary experience whose reach unfortunately exceeds its grasp. July 2, 2018 | Rating: 5.5/10 | Full Review…

No sense of gothic mystery is to be found with not a single artfully shot frame in the entire film. (Remember, The Exorcist was so well shot that they actually used a film still as the poster and it's stunning.) June 20, 2018 | Rating: D | Full Review…

The Devil and Father Amorth starts to feel slippery, as Friedkin uses the sliver offered by psychologists and neurologists as a pry bar to crack open space for the supernatural. May 23, 2018 | Full Review…

Whether this is a documentary or a witty found-footage style thriller, it's a lot of fun. April 27, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Longer than a bonus feature for the already exhaustively-presented Exorcist, but not quite long or complex enough to be the feature-length exploration of real exorcisms it aspires to be - effectively, an infomercial for his earlier work. April 26, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Friedken explores the origins of The Exorcist. Anyone who's seen even one of the hundreds of documentaries about the making of that classic... will not find anything new here. April 26, 2018 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…
