I am curious to know if critics are snubbing it intentionally, but how could we tell, unless the critics themselves admit it? I thought the film was very well made, if excessive in parts, and I'm no holy roller either, despite being Catholic. I thought the flogging scene was way over the top. However, Jim Caveziel delivered an award-worthy performance, and I expected he would receive some acknowledgement at awards time, but so far, he hasn't. 103389@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Dec 2004 22:16:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/14/145835.php#comment-103385 I am no holy roller, but The Passion is one of the best made movies this year. Period. It deserves to be honored. 103385@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Dec 2004 21:51:38 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/14/145835.php#comment-103323 excellent job Randy, we really needed this - I am slow to the news lately - thanks! Oh, and I vote backlash - critics hate this shit, and foreign critics perhaps more than American 103323@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Dec 2004 16:17:08 EST
