Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There was obviously much to this woman, yet somehow Visions feels curiously empty feeling.
– Tom Long,

fresh:
Vision is shot through with issues of power - personal, political, spiritual. Which makes it a terrifically resonant work.
– Lisa Kennedy,

fresh:
Barbara Sukowa brings her veteran presence to the role, and nicely fuses its dual nature, holy instrument and holy terror, the passive vessel of a higher power and the active force of the good mother.

fresh:
Although this true story offers numerous opportunities for skepticism and irony, director Margarethe von Trotta accords Hildegard the respect of a proto-feminist forebear and frames her in golden light like a Vermeer painting.

rotten:
It's hard to muster more than curious indifference to Margarethe von Trotta's "Vision: From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen."
