Metacritic reviews

So profoundly does The Third Miracle live up to its title that Agnieszka Holland's exceptional meditation upon a priest's crisis of faith might win the endorsement of archdiocese and agnostic alike.

The problem with The Third Miracle is that it is thematically ambiguous and never lays out its position on whether it thinks saints are or are not real.

Suggests that finding one good priest is a feasibility, but it takes a miracle to meet one as hubba-hubba as Ed Harris.

A foreign film feel despite its strong American cast.

A flawed drama offering a rare look at the Catholic Church's canonization process.

It's not particularly plausible or well-developed, but it does allow the two seasoned actors to share a sexually tense, vodka-fueled scene at Helen's grave.

This spiritual thriller is too wooden to be taken as seriously as was clearly intended.

The first half of The Third Miracle is very good...but the second half of the film, alas, turns into deep TV-mode.

The first half has a nifty B-movie feel--it's a canny little movie with a big, big theme.

A very competent film, but it barely pulls you in.
