	Author	Review
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Has the gritty, intimate feel of an Eastern European film--and packs the power of a genuine revelation."	POS
United States	Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer	"So profoundly does The Third Miracle live up to its title that Agnieszka Holland's exceptional meditation upon a priest's crisis of faith might win the endorsement of archdiocese and agnostic alike."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Here is a rarity, a film about religion that is neither pious nor sensational, simply curious. No satanic possessions, no angelic choirs, no evil spirits, no lovers joined beyond the grave. Just a man doing his job."	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"A flawed drama offering a rare look at the Catholic Church's canonization process"	NEU
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"Suggests that finding one good priest is a feasibility, but it takes a miracle to meet one as hubba-hubba as Ed Harris"	POS
United States	Jay Carr Boston Globe	"Takes on provocative and stimulating subject matter, but can't bring it into satisfying dramatic focus, stranding three strong actors who are superior to their material"	NEU
