	Author	Review
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"'Come Sunday' accords sympathetic moments to all its characters — a strategy that gives this chronicle of religious convictions a conviction of its own."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[A] compelling story of a devout Christian wrestling with his faith (...) One of the great screen performances of recent years [by Chiwetel Ejiofor]"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A mesmerizing contemplation of the clash between rigid dogma and considered reinterpretation"	POS
United States	Vikram Murthi AV Club	"Its dutifully respectful tone mutes the drama of the whole situation (...) 'Come Sunday' can’t shake its middling script and perfunctory direction"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Chiwetel Ejiofor gives his best performance (...) [There is] an ambivalence that dilutes the film’s ambiguity"	NEU
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"A moving and intelligent drama (...) It's odd how effectively the movie winds up accomplishing what some of the best sermons do"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"While Pearson’s abrupt conversion (...) may be intensely dramatic to the people in his world, it doesn’t always make for compelling storytelling"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Come Sunday's existential ponderings about faith and the afterlife prove far more engaging than the film’s plotting and structure"	NEU
