Critic Reviews for The Devil and Father Amorth

  • 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.

    Andrew Whalen

    Newsweek

  • The Devil and Father Amorth feels at once bloated and slight, like a DVD supplement puffed up to feature length.

    April 20, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

    Matt Zoller Seitz

    RogerEbert.com

  • There is little, if any, genuinely religious dimension ... It's basically a "boo" movie in documentary form - that, and an exercise in brand reinforcement and exploitation.

    Steven D. Greydanus

    National Catholic Register

  • Despite Friedkin's pedigree, it seems to have been made by someone who's never seen a movie before.

    Andrew Lapin

    NPR

  • Regardless of whether you were raised in the church and believe in God and the devil, there's a chilling air of taboo voyeurism in all of this.

    Chris Nashawaty

    Entertainment Weekly

  • If this documentary celebrates a crackpot, Mr. Friedkin is his match. The director's blabbermouth tendencies and wry manner make him an enjoyable M.C.
