The critics consensus states that the film is A drama of thoughtprovoking depth as well as a showcase for newcomer Lee van Acken, Stations of the Cross hits hard and leaves a lingering impact. Steven Greydanus of Decent Films gave the film an A grade, saying Stations of the Cross is among the most insightful and devastating crossexaminations of religious fundamentalism that I have ever seen, certainly in a Catholic context. The film is not so much an attack on faith or religion, but an examination of how faith goes wrong. ........
