Dogma

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Provocative and audacious, Dogma is an uneven but thoughtful religious satire that's both respectful and irreverent.

Todd McCarthy

Variety

A very vulgar pro-faith comedy rather than a sacrilegious goof, Dogma is an extraordinarily uneven film that significant cutting might be able to transform into a playable one.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

I couldn't care less whether Smith's metaphysical conceits about the war between Good and Evil are those of a devout believer or an atheist. The bottom line is that they're puerile.

Dogma is more strained than funny.

Chuck Klosterman

Akron Beacon Journal

It's hard not to be charmed by the seamless combination of high and low humor in this script.

Rated: 3/4

Dogma is both one of the worst movies ever made and also one of the best.

Alejandro E The idea of this comedy was to make an acid criticism of Christianity, without wanting to offend. The idea could perhaps have been better if they had not lengthened jokes that, if anything, provoke very forced smiles. If this is saved from shipwreck, it is because of some characters. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Kirill M Все посмотревшие — попадут в рай, или в ад. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Mix R Honestly, it was great. Some jokes were a little bit weird, but it was a memorable experience. The Catholics won't like it, but this movie honestly portrays the better way of believing than they do (I'm an atheist). Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Bahad j The idea behind this movie moved me a lot, but it was a movie with really satisfying expectations Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Thumpa My favourite Kevin Smith movie. Great cast and a great concept Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Anna H Not funny at all, all the religion talk was confusing at times. Will never watch again.
