Critic Reviews

Inspiring enough to make you wish that the filmmakers had reined in their sentimental excesses.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

In spite of End Of The Spear's fundamental conservatism, the missionaries' disastrous initial encounter with the Waodani ultimately teaches the progressive message that when it comes to winning the hearts and minds of foreign cultures, Bibles and superior technology are no substitute for a thorough understanding of their language and culture.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Although overly earnest and often stilted, the film should find great favor principally among religious auds.Full Review

Variety

Shot in Panama, with a cast of local Indians and B-tier Latino and Anglo actors, End of the Spear has neither the marquee heft nor the artistic gravitas of "The New World."Full Review

Steven Rea
Philadelphia Inquirer

What creeps in is the dramatic simple-mindedness attendant with a purity-of-purpose mind-set.Full Review
