Critic Reviews for The Work and the Glory

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (10)

  • Handsomely mounted but awfully bland.

    April 1, 2005 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

    Ty Burr

    Boston Globe

  • Ultimately stumbles in its mission to make the founding of the Mormon religion interesting to a general audience.

    March 11, 2005 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

    John Monaghan

    Detroit Free Press

  • A likable, ambitious film that does its proselytizing in a roundabout way until its clumsy, final half-hour.

    January 28, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4

    Tom Keogh

    Seattle Times

  • A pretty but weakly written and acted period piece.

    January 21, 2005 | Rating: 2/5

    Roger Moore

    Orlando Sentinel

  • It's hard to imagine this movie capturing an audience outside the Mormon community.

    January 20, 2005 | Rating: 3/5

    Kerry Lengel

    Arizona Republic

  • Offers an efficient and often credible, if overly sanitized, look at the time, place and circumstances in which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was born.
