Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Visionary and haunting, Santa Sangre is a mixture of blood poetry and gobbledygook that keeps springing astonishingly to life.
– Peter Travers,

fresh:
Drawing on his training in mime and his fascination with Gnosticism, Jodorowsky converted a story about a bizarre murderer into a grand work of art, full of symbols and imagery that reach beyond language to something primal and original.

rotten:
What Jodorowsky lacks is a sense of humor, in the absence of which his films turn ludicrous.

rotten:
Santa Sangre's content puts it beyond the call of duty for even the most slavishly devoted art-house denizen.

You can say this: It is never boring.
