Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
Veteran British director Eric Till otherwise does a credible job of sweeping us through this huge life, and his eye for detail combines with the Oscar-worthy production design and a succession of striking Eastern European locations to create a rich visual tapestry of the Middle Ages.
63
Chicago Tribune - Unnamed
Aside from a couple of unintelligible conversations with himself, there's barely any God here. The film would rather just be inclusive. Luther might have wanted it that way, but as moviegoers, it's hard not to want more.
60
Dallas Observer - Jean Oppenheimer
With Joseph Fiennes as the conflicted, frequently self-hating Luther, this historical drama/biopic offers a fairly thorough overview of the period (although it's weak on the "good deeds" angle) but is somewhat dry and weighted with significance.
60
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
The unimposing Fiennes may not suggest the burly Luther's plain-talking peasant background, but he at least captures the charisma.
60
Washington Post - Unnamed
It's just unfortunate that a movie about such a daring man ultimately takes few risks.
