Philadelphia Inquirer
So profoundly does The Third Miracle live up to its title that Agnieszka Holland's exceptional meditation upon a priest's crisis of faith might win the endorsement of archdiocese and agnostic alike. - 67
Austin Chronicle
The problem with The Third Miracle is that it is thematically ambiguous and never lays out its position on whether it thinks saints are or are not real. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Suggests that finding one good priest is a feasibility, but it takes a miracle to meet one as hubba-hubba as Ed Harris. - 67
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
A foreign film feel despite its strong American cast. - 63
New York Post
A flawed drama offering a rare look at the Catholic Church's canonization process. - 63
Miami Herald
It's not particularly plausible or well-developed, but it does allow the two seasoned actors to share a sexually tense, vodka-fueled scene at Helen's grave. - 50
Chicago Reader
This spiritual thriller is too wooden to be taken as seriously as was clearly intended. - 50
