What the critics said
The reception is a tug-of-war. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 49% as of November 2022, while Metacritic lands on 47 out of 100 in June 2025. That is a split decision, not a verdict. Richard Corliss in Time called it "a serious, handsome, excruciating film." He saw commitment. David Edelstein in Slate saw a "snuff movie." He saw boredom. The consensus is that it drains you. Whether that drains your spirit or your patience depends on your tolerance for pain.
How it did with audiences
The Passion of the Christ took in $610 million worldwide. That figure stands alone as a testament to its grip on audiences. On TMDB, users rate it 7.5 out of 10. The score sits comfortably, reflecting a viewership that treated the experience as singular. Numbers rarely capture the intensity of the response.
