CRITICS OF "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc"

Spirituality and Practice

This unusual French interpretation of Joan of Arc sees her as a radical zealot like John Brown.

March 04, 2002

Resource

Houston Chronicle

It's hard to recommend it to people who like action and blood because of all the talking; and, because of all the blood, it's hard to recommend it to those who might be interested in the talk.

January 01, 2000

Groucho Reviews

Jovovich brings an intensity to the role well-matched to Besson's stylistic energy, though this comic-bookish take on Jeanne D'Arc won't be winning any historical-society awards. [Blu-ray]

Los Angeles Times

Nothing less than a miracle saved France, The Messenger tells us, and nothing less than a miracle would be needed to rescue this film from itself.

Impressive to look at, but in the end, it just doesn't ring true.

I know less about Joan of Arc now than I did going into the film.

Half-baked.

The New Republic

Milla Jovovich, who plays Joan, is a young woman who has been unmemorable in several pictures.

Resource

Dallas Morning News

The English are uniformly and broadly portrayed as villainous louts, and today's four-letter oaths sound laughably anachronistic.
