It’s still extremely funny, as quotable now as it ever was, and as searingly, eye-openingly intelligent.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 12, 2024

A considerably effective parody, particularly as it sends up the arbitrary interpretation of signs and symbols, the follies of blind faith, and the atrocities conducted in the name of religion.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 8, 2024

This inspired send-up of religious epics was surrounded by controversy on its release, but it is, nevertheless, the Monty Python team's most assured and satisfying cinematic work.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 17, 2024

With forgiveness from all condemnations, I laughed from start to finish with Life of Brian. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jan 18, 2024

It’s a relentless onslaught of consummate comedy that’s so flawlessly crafted, it’s easy to overlook how impeccably the scenes are played.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 7, 2023

All the Pythons are at the top of their game here. The jokes are joyously silly and the writing razor sharp.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 7, 2023

Given all the fuss and controversy, not to mention its belated status as a classic, I dearly wish it were funnier. Much too much of it, though, depends on silly voices...

| Original Score: C | Dec 1, 2022

The plot treads a narrow, semi-blasphemous path through ancient times.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 16, 2020

While the movie doesn't reinvent the wheel, it is professionally impeccable. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 13, 2019

Life of Brian is undoubtedly the greatest religious satire of all-time. Comedic gold.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 7, 2019

I'm desperate for another piece of comedy to do what [Life of Brian] did.

| Apr 26, 2019

Life of Brian is an unexpectedly earnest, sweet-natured hymn to the idea of tolerance.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 12, 2019

While the most ambitious and thematically coherent of the Monty Python feature films, Life of Brian is also the least of them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 25, 2019

Regularly voted the funniest British film. A contender.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 13, 2018

The Pythons' instincts strike home, not only in Brian's miserable failure to imbue his followers with some basic decency, but in the self-apparent barbarism that he's fighting against.

| Nov 29, 2017

Brian's life is pure hell. And very funny to watch.

| Aug 17, 2017

Only a select few of [Monty Python's] truest fans will appreciate the message they convey in a movie that actively mocks the concept of organized religion while making us laugh along with them.

| Feb 6, 2014

It looked back 2000 years for its comic content, but was a decade ahead in provoking Christian controversy. Yet how much hotter would the steaming Pilate of blasphemy-accusations have got if the Pythons had included their scripted mockeries of Zionism?

| May 10, 2012

Sandaled Python pic too irreverent for young kids.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 31, 2010

It's a Mel Brooks kind of Jewish joke film made by gentiles.

| Original Score: B | Oct 13, 2010
