Critic Reviews

Sly and suggestive, Lourdes is a cosmic black comedy that bumps up against the metaphysical.Full Review

Joshua Rothkopf
Time Out New York

Beautifully led by birdlike Sylvie Testud as an ailing young woman in a wheelchair, every character (pilgrim and helper alike) exhibits a soul. And shaped with confident talent by the Austrian filmmaker, every serenely composed shot matters.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

This drama is something of a miracle itself: a film dealing with religion that is refreshingly free of dogma.Full Review

Pam Grady
Boxoffice Magazine

Lourdes starts from the unexpected position of believing miracles are possible, but it doesn't paper over the religious and practical problems they raise--for the blessed and bereft alike.Full Review

Scott Tobias
The Onion A.V. Club

The film delves deeper into the pain and pleasure of watching other people experience the wonderful things you dream of happening to you. In that sense, Hausner has crafted a kind of meta-riff on the masochistic lure of cinema itself.Full Review
