United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Thanks to its director’s sturdy guidance and Leuenberger’s fine lead performance (...) the film never feels stilted or preachy"	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"More diverting than divine (...) Largely predictable (...) The film remains engaging and even quite light, despite the seriousness of its subject."	NEU
Spain	FilmAffinity	The most successful Swiss film of the year at the box office.	POS
United States	Ren Jender Village Voice	"An unexpected delight (...) The film includes some stunning moments"	POS
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The film’s performances and narrative flounder to strike the right balance between comedy and drama (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"'The Divine Order' is as milquetoast as these things get, but Volpe’s film finds real value by emphasizing process over politics"	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"'The Divine Order' has a satisfying, feelgood trajectory and empathetic central performance from Marie Leuenberger"	POS
