When Dovid asks the 'Squire' to sell him some land so he can build a railway station, a ruthless businessman from the neighbouring gentile community uses Simon to find out who wants to buy the land so he can 'persuade' him otherwise

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Hopkins shows masterful skill in shaping Simon's reality and unreality in this engrossing, suspenseful morality play.

rotten:
The more I think about Simon Magus, the less I'm sure what it's trying to say.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Beautifully shot and lyrically told, Simon Magus is a beguiling study in contrasts, good and evil, darkness and light, hope and despair, joy and melancholy.
– David Germain,

fresh:
An odd but original, at times even poetic, film about a vanished world.
– Loren King,
Boston Globe,

rotten:
The villain sneers, and someone in the film- score department is banging a timpani in slow motion, meaning there's probably tragedy around the corner, but things are too earnest and sleepy to be sure.
