United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Not quite a religious experience, but original and absorbing (...) Komasa directs with an impressive rigor that fits the subject matter"	POS
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Bielenia’s committed performance and Komasa’s assured storytelling convince us that God can work in mysterious ways"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"All of this makes for compelling dramatic conflict, and it’s satisfying to watch an impostor shake up the status quo."	POS
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"Piotr Sobociński’s blue-toned cinematography enhances the rapturous air and enhances a smartly written, unsettling work of realism (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Kevin Maher The Times	"Flawless storytelling, effortlessly played (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Ola Salwa Cineuropa	"Bielenia digs deep into the psyche of his character and presents his inner struggle (...) His on-screen charisma is jaw-dropping."	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"The result is potently bittersweet with an abrupt end in both the town’s story (subtly profound) and Daniel’s (chaotically unhinged). Bielenia delivers a fantastic performance"	POS
