Though short, the environment of the movie with the added lingering sense of danger and silent hope makes this an entertaining story. Holland, Bernthal, Weber, and Armitage are all fantastic.

Very good performances from everybody and a solid script. This movie really makes you look at faith at what god wants and what you want from god.

Though critics argue that it's fairly pointless, I think they missed the point. All this violence over a rock? It features some stellar acting work, not to mention beautiful cinematography and sound design. It drags a little bit, but tells the story it sets out to.

Los Angeles Times

For all its bloody and violent genre trappings, "Pilgrimage" is a gorgeously shot film that carefully renders the details of this fascinating historical period.

It's interesting as far as it goes, but you wish it would have gone farther.

Irish Times

What really makes Pilgrimage buzz ... is an impressively scuzzy ambience powered by repeated outbreaks of raw violence.

Keith & the Movies

Made with a small budget and shot in thirty days, “Pilgrimage” sleekly maneuvers through its limitations instead of succumbing to them.

Rated: 4.5/5
