One of the Best Movies I have seen in the last few years. I consider this Movie a \"Must See\" for everyone. A small, poor, peaceful village where a Monestary and the muslim population have coexisted for centuries. Where the Monks are part of the villages's life, and meaning. Where they have friends amoung the Imans, and people: Being invited to parties, and dinners; the monks
good movie
It was a very moving drama contrasting war and peace. The story line provides a splendid explanation of the incarnation of Jesus and what that means to his followers.
I know that subtitled movies aren't for everyone, but the cinematography in this movie is spectacular. The acting is wonderful, you forget you are watching actors and believe they are all men of God. Their struggle with doing what's right: for themselved, their faith, their friends, and their home, is epic. I don't know what I would

As the film patiently (perhaps too much so for some) heads toward its foregone conclusion, Beauvois gradually raises his style to a level of baroqueness reminiscent of 1995's "Don't Forget You're Going to Die." Full Review

Of Gods and Men is supple and suspenseful, appropriately austere without being overly harsh, and without forgoing the customary pleasures of cinema. The performances are strong, the narrative gathers momentum as it progresses, and the camera is alive to the beauty of the Algerian countryside. Full Review

What he (Beauvois) conveys, through austere but spectacular visual language, magnificent liturgical singing and an ensemble cast headed by the terrific French veteran actors Lambert Wilson and Michael Lonsdale, is something of the "why." Full Review

The film is masterfully directed by Xavier Beauvois who co-wrote the screenplay. At Cannes, Of Gods and Men received the runner-up Grand Prix. It's also France's selection for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Full Review

Ignore the precise religious context and it stands perfectly well as a restrained look at personal convictions in the face of certain death. Full Review
