Robert P @Superbad Oct 21, 2026 The Last Temptation of Christ is a 4.5 star Movie! See more S S @SShol Oct 1, 2026 This film will floor you. Understanding the controversy given the topic, this is among the best portrayals of Jesus in film history, and definitely the film that leaves me with the most thought-provoking musings long after the film ended. Highly recommend See more George P @GP266 Sep 18, 2026 I enjoyed this movie very much. I can see why it sparked the controversy that it did. But I don’t think that was the plan of scoresee l. It did make me think. It made me feel empathy for Jesus. Music was good. Again a thinking piece. See more John B @johnbalash Jul 13, 2026 When I was young I remember the outrage surrounding this movie but it’s far more reverential than I imagined. David Bowie as Pontius Pilate?! This movie has it all (except actors of color portraying non-white people). It’s quite weird, gory, and filled with nudity, but so is much of what happens in The Bible. It’s certainly an interesting take on a well known story. Love that the Jesus and Judas actors both starred in movies with Madonna (who vied for the role of Mary Magdalene in this movie). See more S. O @Col._Angus Jun 2, 2026 Pretty great until the last half hour. What a weird ending. See more Christian M @chriss17eu May 29, 2026 Curiosity and personal distance made me approach 'The Last Temptation of Christ' with great anticipation, but Scorsese’s grounded and deeply human reinterpretation quickly left me emotionally disconnected. The film explores sin, doubt, temptation, and moral conflict through a vulnerable Christ, portrayed convincingly by Willem Dafoe, yet I never fully connected with him or the film’s message. Its insistence on love and faith as universal answers felt difficult to accept from my agnostic perspective, creating a constant emotional barrier. Visually, the muted colors, functional lighting, and slow pacing resulted in monotony rather than atmosphere. Still, I appreciate the film’s willingness to focus on the internal struggle of an individual burdened by something greater than himself. It is bold, thoughtful, and valuable — just not emotionally resonant for me. See more Read all reviews
