National Catholic Reporter
[T]he film is most effective in its quieter moments, such as the scenes in which Calles warily negotiates with the American ambassador...
Hollywood Reporter
[T]he most expensive film ever made in Mexico, an ambitious production with a cast filled with stars....It is well-made...
Chicago Sun-Times
Despite enough good intentions to pave a four-lane highway, the ardently sincere but dramatically unfocused For Greater Glory plays like a multipart miniseries that has been hacked down to feature length.
Variety
Rating: 1.5/4 --
The sometimes painfully sincere and slow-moving "For Greater Glory" clearly aspires to be inspirational, but history won't cooperate.

New York Post
If these events seem to fit a little too neatly into modern narrative, seem almost too ready-made for current controversies... a few minutes' worth of research confirms the essential truth of the story.
