Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Tarkovsky pulls you into a dark, foreboding nightmare and Nykvist [Bergman's former cameraman] gives that nightmare an explosive awakening.

fresh:
The Sacrifice is a stunningly beautiful film that holds your attention even while you feel slightly stunned, in a less welcome way, by what is actually going on.
– Walter Goodman,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
rotten:

fresh:
A grand, unworldly, even antiworldly religious vision that depends on its perfect pitch to avoid absurdity and bathos.

rotten:
