A view shared by Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal . New Jersey On Line angle its critical force, sometimes destructive of faith when The Los Angeles Times evokes this essential aspect of the film before renting its unfolding drama.
Often compared to a Into Great Silence , a documentary by Philip Gröning on the lives of monks, Of Gods and Men struck by the complete absence proselytism, as outlined in the National Post : "it's not a" message "movie" ( This is not a film "message" ). Spirituality and reflection demonstrated by images and dialogue are also appealing. The same National Post wrote "Words Can Only do so much, however ( Words can do so much ). The journalist Chris Knight evokes the dialogue between a monk and a villager: "We are like birds on a branch, we do not know when we leave," he said. She corrects him by saying: "We are the birds, you're the industry." Dialogue metaphorical mentioned in several reviews.
Manichaeism ( Thestar.com ), meditation ( npr.org), the management of historical change ( Los Angeles Times), the condition of the martyr (Huffington Post ) or making a crucial decision (Wall Street Journal ) are also reviewed. Unanimously, these critics welcomed the talent of Xavier Beauvois to address these themes without ever imposing a reply: "There are no easy answers to questions like thesis, & the film has to pretend not The Grace OTHERWISE."

The negative criticism
All journalists from the United States are not yet ready to award him the Palme d'Or, as would Peter Howell Thestar.com . The site Pastemagazine.com gives very mixed reviews on a film that never goes beyond description.

Some scenes are downright the showpiece for Xavier Beauvois, who shows he knows how to film the silent terror of the monks. "Aim Why Should They All Be So terrified, in unison, Has That time?
