- 91The PlaylistRodrigo PerezThe PlaylistRodrigo Perez“You Have to See It to Believe It” is a well-worn movie cliché, but trust that it applies to this utterly bananas corporeal bath of cinema in all its glorious sound and vision. As the film ratchets up to its batshit, gnarly, and beautifully mutilated conclusion, man, prepare yourself for how transgressive and hypnagogic it gets.
- 85The Daily BeastNick SchagerThe Daily BeastNick SchagerA boldly demented science fiction saga (executive-produced by Steven Soderbergh) that melds the unsettling body horror of David Cronenberg and the seductive surrealism of David Lynch with a menacing video game-inflected spirit of its own.
- 83IndieWireChristian ZilkoIndieWireChristian ZilkoIt’s one of the most exciting midnight movies of 2023.
- 75RogerEbert.comNick AllenRogerEbert.comNick AllenHere is a cornucopia of aesthetics, not for all but definitely for some, that will remind you that not every type of film has been made yet.
- 75ColliderChase HutchinsonColliderChase HutchinsonIt is one worth putting on your radar even as it magnificently goes all over the map into the cosmos the longer you get lost in it.
- 70Los Angeles TimesCarlos AguilarLos Angeles TimesCarlos AguilarA movie destined for a cult following and subsequent midnight showings, “Divinity” does commit the sin of placing style over substance, but there’s enough of the latter to keep one’s mind spinning along with it, even if it’s all a jumble
- 60Screen RantNadir SamaraScreen RantNadir SamaraThere are a few lingering plot lines in need of more attention, but overall everything put to the screen makes up for any of Divinity's shortcomings.
- 50Slant MagazineWilliam RepassSlant MagazineWilliam RepassThe story’s attempt at an excoriation of spectacle and empty pleasure comes off as little more than a reluctant swipe.
- 40Paste MagazineJacob OllerPaste MagazineJacob OllerThe resulting film from Eddie Alcazar is shallow and silly pseudo-experimental sci-fi, made by those assured that they were making something edgy and interesting. To err is human, to film it is Divinity.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA misbegotten blend of the futuristic and the antiquated, “Divinity” is an unintentionally comical sci-fi diatribe obsessed with beautiful bodies, bickering brothers and biblical symbolism.
