Summary: Truly Thought-Provoking
Review: This was an amazing film. No matter what your faith, it will leave you asking questions long after it has ended.Arquette was truly astounding as the afflicted innocent. The actions the Church takes in light of her obviously real stigmata and her message have more than a hint of realism. While the staging is dark, after a few scenes you feel that the story could have no other backdrop. This story was uplifting, thought-provoking and I'd recommend several viewings to anyone left saying "I don't get it" after the first playing.

Summary: Boring and Predictable -- Rent Exorcist or Omen instead
Review: The general topic seemed interesting, and parts of the movie hit on that, but then the movie takes a nose dive into a completely unbelievable and incoherent plot, involving unbelievable and unsympathetic characters. I like supernatural movies, but not ones like this which insult your intelligence and put you to sleep. I guess that explains why the soundtrack is cranked up (technical note: really terrible sound mixing) -- probably the only thing that can keep you awake. If you want to see the real quality of this genre, go see movies like Exorcist and Omen. The X-Files even had an episode on a stigmatic which was far more interesting, well-written, and better acted than this flop.

Summary: Lame Pseudo-Theological MishMash
Review: Thoroughly dull, addle-brained wannabe-supernatural "thriller"---rips off at least a half-dozen other (much better) movies, fills the screen with pretty but meaningless special effects, dull characters you don't care about, and a jumbled, unfocused view of faith. Nothing's set up convincingly, and there's no real payoff dramatically or viscerally for this incredibly lame story. The writer couldn't even come up with a decent villain---the least a hackneyed horror film can do is give you a good Bad Guy/Girl, and the denoument is so silly and lame that I wanted to throw something at the screen out of sheer boredom and frustration. Insultingly stupid.

Summary: The Messenger must be silenced!
Review: I'm not Christian.First,I thought "Maybe I'll not understand this movie"...But after I've seen "Stigmata",I understand the gist clearly and I'm impressed.Patricia is a great actress,so Frankie looked audacious at first and very sweet at last. Gabriel Byrne is the interesting actor,I really like his acting...Soundtrack of this movie is also dark and dull but that's cool!

Summary: Almost a great movie
Review: This was by far one of the most interesting movies to come out in '99, but don't be mistaken. The basis of the film is a quote from the "Gospel of Thomas." Many of the passages of this Gospel that they use in the movie are not in the book. Others are simply miss-quotes. The filmmakers counted on the fact that not many people have actually read the "Gospel of Thomas." Also, the books that the movie says the church is keeping from the faithful are easily available. They are just not canonized as holy texts. However this is, after all, just a movie. As a movie it stands well on it's own and is worth watching. Some spectacular special effects (though some could have been better handled) and a well thought out plot make this movie memorable. Great performances by Arquette and Byrne that, in the hands of lesser actors, could have turned into a bad movie.

ALL I CAN SAY FOR THIS MOVIE IS IT IS GREAT AN A+ MOVIE. AND ALSO THIS MOVIE IS NOT AN EXORCIST RIPOFF THIS MOVIE IS WAY BETTER. JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP.

Summary: Stinks To High Heaven!
Review: Where to begin with this MTV-meets-The Exorcist garbage? How about: Don't waste a cent buying it or a minute watching it. I'm sorry I did. If it were even mildly provocative, intelligent or well done I'd give it one and a half stars. As it is, I give it a big fat ZERO (though this review system compelled me to give it at least one). It completely perverts the mystical phenomena of stigmata by a.) Having it manifest itself in an avowed atheist (Padre Pio must be turning over in his grave) and b.) Somehow associating it with the phenomena of possession (by a dead priest, no less!). It roundly bashes that mean ol' Catholic Church who, supposedly, "suppressed" the so-called "Gospel of St. Thomas" (a Saint only by virtue of the authority of the very same Catholic Church!) in order to maintain their grip on power over us poor ignorant masses. This "Gospel" was rejected by the Church, along with numerous other heretical writings, at the Council of Carthage in 397 A.D.! (For a full treatment of the origins of the Bible, may I suggest "Where We Got The Bible: Our Debt To The Catholic Church" by Rev. Henry G. Graham). Of course, this is just Catholic bashing and New Age philosophizing at its most banal. The movie is both ludicrous and blasphemous. It deserves to be crucified.

Summary: Honestly not that good
Review: The movie had a good story at its core, but it never really tries to add up to anything meaningful. Loud for the sake of being loud, heavy-handed when delivering any sort of moral, and confused at times about its own plot, Stigmata goes nowhere.
