A dim, derivative drama about human psychology...

| Jul 25, 2022

In spite of the doctor鈥檚 ultimate lesson in humility, this is a sad and upsetting story that in the end, has little point.

For all its foibles and faults though, Three Christs is still an, at times, engrossing watch, anchored by three truly under-rated American actors at their best.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2021

Peddles the sort of heartstring-pulling uplift traditionally reserved for year-end awards hopefuls.

"Three Christs" delicately balances humor and the dramatic need for human connection as it expertly explores the disorder of paranoid schizophrenia.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Nov 27, 2020

The patients seem more like central casting loonies than authentic ones.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 1, 2020

Alternatively treacly and maudlin.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 19, 2020

The setup at least allows for a bunch of fine actors to really chew the scenery during group therapy sessions.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 17, 2020

Director and co-writer Jon Avnet fails to make this decidedly odd material into a credible experience.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 17, 2020

It's unfortunate that the film itself isn't as piercing and inventive as the performers inside of it, but it's reassuring that such talent can still shine even when encased in otherwise milquetoast surroundings.

| Original Score: 2.5/5.0 | Jan 17, 2020

When Avnet's film takes the same approach, and just lets them talk, it is painful, noble, and beautiful, not least because of the great performances of the three schizophrenic characters.

The three Christs themselves remain ciphers. We should be feeling for these seemingly hopeless cases, but while the players are occasionally amusing, they never really engage our emotions.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 16, 2020

An amazing ensemble of actors creates a compelling story based on true events. This movie deserves to be seen.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 14, 2020

Three Christs is a film that sits between being good and being bad. It's good in its choice of actors and fascinating exploration of the human mind, but it's bad because it's a slog and the female characters feel like objects.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 11, 2020

These are all tremendous, longtime character actors who really get the chance to sink their teeth into this meaty work... [But] it takes a turn from which it never recovers.

| Jan 11, 2020

To the extent that [the experiment] was an interesting thing to do, this is an interesting movie.

| Jan 11, 2020

The movie may be too understated and inert for its own good, but the actors are uniformly exemplary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 10, 2020

Despite some committed performances, the film downplays a nuanced exploration of mental illness by emphasizing eccentricities and sentimentality.

| Jan 10, 2020

It's an intriguing set-up, but it feels like there are pieces that are either shuffled around to make a point, or missing entirely.

| Original Score: B | Jan 10, 2020

Three Christs opts in for frustratingly broad characters that feel like half-considered caricatures, while Jeff Russo's sentimental, strings-heavy score flattens whatever modest edge the movie might have had.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 10, 2020
