Humanity as faces trapped in inescapable frames. Probably the closest I've ever gotten to a religious experience.
Josh LewisJul 1, 2014I watched this twice, back to back. Once with sound, once without. Both times I was gobsmacked by what was laid out before me on screen. Watching this film feels like having the weight of our history looking over your shoulder with you. It is teeming with historical framing…
DirkHMar 23, 2014I never believed the hype. A film made in the 20s, a silent film made in the 20s, being declared by some to be the best film ever made? Sounds like something only a film historian could say. Sounds like homework, like you have to know about film in the 20s to see how this…

- Kareem likedThe Passion of Joan of Arc
This is like the absolute banger of silent movies. The level of excellence in the camera work/lighting/background music/editing/is unbelievable, especially having been produced 100 years ago! Not to mention the several attempts to destroy it. Definitely top 15 best performances.
Salima lovedThe Passion of Joan of ArcThis movie is amazing! The performance of Maria Falconetti is incredible! You feel how Joan of Arc suffered and feel trapped during her trial. Maria really was magnificent. It’s more incredible when you know the story behind this movie (has been burned several times). 10/10✨
Caio lovedThe Passion of Joan of Arcque filme incrível. o martírio de Joana em toda a sua força. a atriz captou a força, inocência e fé da personagem de uma maneira muito bonita e tocante. como a Paixão de Cristo, que ela emula, vê-se como o mártir não pertence àquele mundo. Quão pequenos são os algozes! Filmaço
- William Luckenbach lovedThe Passion of Joan of Arc
Magnificently shot and edited, The Passion of Joan of Arc deserves its reputation as one of the most moving and heartbreaking films of all time. This film elicits such empathy through its striking imagery and powerful performances that you’re left breathless and in tears. 9/10
anton chigurh dislikedThe Passion of Joan of ArcAs someone who is not religious, I strongly disliked this movie. The entire thing just seemed whimsical and insincere, mostly due to the constant expressions on Joan’s face. This felt like reading a book with pictures while dramatic music played in the background. Silent age👎

- Wagner Freitas lovedThe Passion of Joan of Arc
As I write this letter tears have been coming down my eyes mostly because of what I could absorb from this amazing portrait which was directed with such delicacy and so naturally, my only wish was to make this a 3 hour work so I could've enjoyed that perfect choice of Music!!
John Bryson lovedThe Passion of Joan of ArcThis was one of the most moving films I’ve ever seen. The acting truly transported me to the moment they were depicting. Amazing how such an early film can standout as one of the highest points in the medium to this day with none of the spectacle and technological advances.
nevan lovedThe Passion of Joan of Arcan absolute classic title of the silent era, and possibly my favorite from the period as well. perfectly shot, edited, and acted; one-time legend renee falconetti delivers one of the greatest performances of all time. timeless

Metacritic
To modern audiences, raised on films where emotion is conveyed by dialogue and action more than by faces, a film like The Passion of Joan of Arc is an unsettling experience--so intimate we fear we will discover more secrets than we desire.
