  A bold, spiritual masterpiece!
  
  The film can only be described in one word - masterpiece. It has been adapted from the true discovery of the Nag Hammadi scrolls in 1945, and has altered parts ... read more »

  Very Boring
  
  Very boring film, very very predictable and full of the usual religious horror cliches. Felt like I'd seen it all before. Not worth watching at all!

  Not bad
  
  This was not a bad film at all although somewhat predictable as to what would happen.
  
  Worth a watch though.

  Rollercoaster
  
  From one scene to the next a rollercoater of emotions. A film that leaves you convinced you know the answers but not too sure all the same.

  Intelligence !
  
  A very intelligent film, well constructed and brilliantly executed. The film also does not expect any previous knowledge of the dogma of the catholic church.
