It never feels like he's taken to task, but in a way Sealey is exploring the darker aspects of mankind, and the film, much like most people in his orbit, is seduced by Bundy's mannered, and often witty conversations.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 4, 2024

Amber Sealey’s No Man of God examines the final years of Bundy’s (Luke Kirby) life in a psychological thriller that looks to answer the question of Why? rather than the glorification of his murders.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 31, 2023

No Man of God argues that serial killers...are regular people who do terrible things, and we must reckon with both their humanity and the troubling knowledge that they aren’t as different from the people around us as we would like to believe.

The story is just as much about Bill Hagmaier and what his encounter with Ted Bundy brought out in him. It’s these kinds of differences that make the movie stand out from all the other Bundy treatments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

No Man of God doesn't tell us anything about Ted Bundy we didn't already know, but it's a riveting drama anchored by two phenomenal performances from Luke Kirby and Elijah Wood.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2022

A film that's more minimalistic and still than indulgingly sensational, No Man of God strips away the morbid fascination and closes the book on [Ted Bundy's] crimes.

| Oct 12, 2021

An interesting tale of an FBI agent and Ted Bundy, but Mindhunter got there first.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 28, 2021

It's a darkly intriguing film, expertly assembled and performed.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 23, 2021

With its religious overtones, this saint vs. sinner drama is more appalling than compelling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 21, 2021

It's a fascinating journey that leads to a mad scramble, and it all culminates in a deeper understanding of a particular, warped mindset.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 11, 2021

No Man of God doesn't sensationalise anything. The meetings between the agent and Bundy start in a Hannibal/Clarice manner, but as they progress, the dynamic is more Nixon vs Frost.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2021

Both actors contribute knife-sharp timing and the kind of intensity needed to make this essentially two-man setup work.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2021

The movie's reticence to answer its own tough questions will probably leave its audience feeling a little cold, and not in an interesting way.

| Sep 6, 2021

Luke Kirby is riveting as Bundy while Elijah Wood is superb as FBI agent Hagmaier. Two powerhouse performances.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 3, 2021

No Man of God is not a bad film at all. It just doesn't quite work.

| Sep 2, 2021

Kirby's work has a genuine menace to it because you can feel an underneath, a black lake right out of sight. He brings us to the brink of Bundy's nothingness where something terrible-a vertigo called up from the void-calls back.

| Sep 2, 2021

If nothing else, this film exposes the culpability in a genre that thrives on gawkers, who are also depraved in their own way.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2021

It's subtle, and may not be enough for the growing group of critics and viewers that worry that the cinematic obsession with serial killers ends up lionizing them, but it makes Bundy what he always was: pathetic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2021

No Man of God revolves around it's performances and utilises cleverly thought out technical aspects to create a Bundy focused, but not centric, tale that offers a fresh perspective on an otherwise over-saturated topic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 31, 2021

[Director Amber Sealey] takes Bundy as seriously as an FBI profiler, breaking down the monster's components. Those components are brought to skin-crawling life in a rather stunning performance by Luke Kirby as Bundy.
