The PlaylistRodrigo PerezOct 13, 2023
“You Have to See It to Believe It” is a well-worn movie cliché, but trust that it applies to this utterly bananas corporeal bath of cinema in all its glorious sound and vision. As the film ratchets up to its batshit, gnarly, and beautifully mutilated conclusion, man, prepare yourself for how transgressive and hypnagogic it gets. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerOct 13, 2023
A boldly demented science fiction saga (executive-produced by Steven Soderbergh) that melds the unsettling body horror of David Cronenberg and the seductive surrealism of David Lynch with a menacing video game-inflected spirit of its own. Read full review

A super-charged genre throwback that obscures its meaning but has an alluring visual texture, Divinity is completely unique in its conception of sci-fi dystopia, for better and for worse. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesCarlos AguilarOct 25, 2023
A movie destined for a cult following and subsequent midnight showings, “Divinity” does commit the sin of placing style over substance, but there’s enough of the latter to keep one’s mind spinning along with it, even if it’s all a jumble Read full review

There are a few lingering plot lines in need of more attention, but overall everything put to the screen makes up for any of Divinity's shortcomings. Read full review

The story’s attempt at an excoriation of spectacle and empty pleasure comes off as little more than a reluctant swipe. Read full review

Paste MagazineJacob OllerOct 13, 2023
The resulting film from Eddie Alcazar is shallow and silly pseudo-experimental sci-fi, made by those assured that they were making something edgy and interesting. To err is human, to film it is Divinity. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOct 19, 2023
A misbegotten blend of the futuristic and the antiquated, “Divinity” is an unintentionally comical sci-fi diatribe obsessed with beautiful bodies, bickering brothers and biblical symbolism. Read full review
