	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"If the film is less than perfect, it is because Smith is too much in love with his dialogue (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"The movie simply demonstrates the limitations of Smith's vision and humorous abilities, rather than any satirical prowess."	NEU
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Dogma is a raucous, profane but surprisingly endearing piece of work"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"To say this is Smith's best film doesn't come close to saying enough. 'Dogma' is mature, thoughtful and occasionally dazzling."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The first commandment of Dogma: Thou shalt not stop laughing."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"It's not every day you get to see a movie that begins in satire and ends in reverence, but then, for Kevin Smith, they may ultimately be the same thing"	POS
United States	The New York Times	"Smith makes a big, gutsy leap into questions of faith and religion. He miraculously emerges with his humor intact"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"A very vulgar pro-faith comedy rather than a sacrilegious goof, Dogma is an extraordinarily uneven film."	NEU
