Luther movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: For a movie about a man of ideas, Luther is pretty exciting stuff. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Luther is a film that you know will end with one of those codas telling us what a profound life he led. But the movie itself just doesn't leave that kind of footprint. Read more
Ellen Fox, Chicago Tribune: The film short-hands a lot of stuff, but it's gripping for a while. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: As the film veers uncertainly between meticulous historical recapitulation and shameless hokum, it brings enough characters to populate a mini-series. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Curiously flat. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: After a summer of numbing mindlessness, there is something frankly refreshing about a movie that deals even superficially with as significant a figure as the rebellious 16th century theologian Martin Luther. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: A few too many amateurish techniques and oversimplified confrontations hold Luther back a notch or two from greatness, and stamp it instead as entertaining Lutheran cheerleading. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: Heady theological badminton, as vigorously thoughtful as it is piously historical. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: A glossy but unimaginative dramatization of the man's life. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Manages to make a travesty of its title subject. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: An informative immersion in the history of both Catholic and Protestant churches, and a rather refreshing take on medieval morality. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Deadly material, full of self-righteousness and devoid of balance. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: ... I anticipated that Luther himself would be an inspiring figure, filled with the power of his convictions. What we get is an apologetic outsider with low self-esteem, who reasons himself into a role he has little taste for. Read more
Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle: For all its scope and detail, Luther fails to convey the sense of history moved by a compelling individual. Read more
Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail: About as swashbuckling as a history lesson gets. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: Luther is rarely presented as anything other than a preacher. He preaches even in casual conversation. Read more
