The final moments have an unexpected snap of black humour and suspense, and every so often we are astonished by an image of striking beauty and strangeness.

Top CriticThis is profundity with a light touch. The film itself is funny, sweet and affecting in just the right kind of way.

Top CriticAt his best, Cox is a wonderful observer of the human condition, but he doesn’t seem particularly inspired by the story or the characters in Salvation.
03/20/09
Top CriticTrue to his creative, eccentric and mischievous self, Paul Cox has made another film in which he spins a web of man's own doing, a wry, acidic tale that unmasks televangelists as fakes and moral dwarfs.
03/19/09
Top Critic[Cox's] own views on modern-day evangelical Christianity are so strong that a snide mockery overpowers the film, undermining its comedic yield and draining it of nuance.
