Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The tension of Calvary is fitful at best, and much of the movie trips into silliness, but in Brendan Gleeson -- in his proud bearing and his lamenting gaze -- we see the plight of the lonely believer in a world beyond belief.

rotten:
Brendan Gleeson delivers a typically towering yet warm performance in "Calvary." Too bad the movie's something of a mess.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
15 Aug 2014
fresh:
It serves as a marvelous showcase for Gleeson, a great old-lion actor who shows, in the film's many close-ups, a quiet, weary yet unbending faith, and a face on which emotion can play like a wave on the beach.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
14 Aug 2014
fresh:
Both the comedy and the violence are watered down by a dark melancholy.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
14 Aug 2014
fresh:
A dark and profoundly funny tale of an institution failing its sheep and its best shepherds.
