The religious fundamentalism ideologically rooted in this country finds allegorical terror in the diabolical Preacher. Reveling in the brutality, fanaticism and warped self-righteousness ultimately at the dark, messianic heart of US exceptionalism today.

Gruesome and dark as it can be. But could I stop watching? Not me!

Exhausting, pretentious, and tedious. It's one of the most painfully boring, overlong and disappointing Westerns since Heaven's Gate.

[Director Koolhoven] blends the grand idea of divine retribution from Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider with the noir grimness of HBO's Deadwood, to make something all his own.

Ostentatiously unpleasant, mired in a grim solemnity nowhere near as intelligent nor enlightening as the film seems to think it is.

For all the visceral depictions of hatred and violence and human destruction, it feels as if the director is chasing his own tail and forgetting about making it all mean something.

Though this Western is interesting and artistically daring, it's far too brutal and sadistic (and far too long) to recommend for casual viewing; it requires strong resolve and a stomach to match.

Fanning is in fine form as a woman who can't vocalize her emotions, though it's Pearce here who steals the show.

The carnage pushes you away (and wears you down), even as the genre, industrious cast, beautiful landscapes and stark, often striking visuals pull you in.

A film that ostensibly aims to expose the subjugation of women spends an awful lot of time hurting and humiliating them.

I'm all for heroic exertion in pursuit of one's art, but in this case I wish Koolhoven had tried therapy first.

There's an odor that lingers long after "Brimstone"'s final fade-out. And it's not sulfur.
