Rating: 2/4 -- The Devil and Father Amorth feels at once bloated and slight, like a DVD supplement puffed up to feature length. Full Review

The Devil and Father Amorth starts to feel slippery, as Friedkin uses the sliver offered by psychologists and neurologists as a pry bar to crack open space for the supernatural. Full Review

Despite Friedkin's pedigree, it seems to have been made by someone who's never seen a movie before. Full Review

If this documentary celebrates a crackpot, Mr. Friedkin is his match. The director's blabbermouth tendencies and wry manner make him an enjoyable M.C. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- The Devil and Father Amorth is pretty much just a glorified DVD extra with flimsy production values and a sense of self-aggrandizement. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- The Devil and Father Amorth is more than just a schlocky oddity, it's a fascinating exploration of the human brain and the power of religion. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- With the whole film shot on a static, handheld video camera, both the content and execution fail to keep the attention, and at only 68 minutes long, Father Amorth still manages to drag incessantly. Full Review
