The Catechism Cataclysm has not been reviewed by Broad National Press
Paul Brunick, New York Times: MODERATE "...there are lots of stories within the story: priestly parables, absurdist fables, campfire horror yarns.... If you're feeling thoroughly confused but still sort of curious, 'The Catechism Cataclysm' was made for you." (Read the full review...) 314 words, 10/19/11 Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...a grating and witless would-be spoof of religion, male-bonding and, it seems, horror movies.... A head-scratching 2011 Sundance Film Festival selection... ultimately just a kicky title in search of a movie." (Read the full review...) 189 words, 11/04/11 Nick Schager, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...incapable of delivering its promised religious satire... drowns in randomness and half-formed jabs at ideas about divine guidance, sin, and salvation." (Read the full review...) 187 words, 10/19/11
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: MODERATE (cg) "...seems hopelessly without a point... There's a certain deadpan comedic realism to be found here - until it turns into midnight-movie stoner surrealism. But that doesn't mean it's funny." (Read the full review...) 391 words, 04/07/11 Marc Mohan, Portland Oregonian: MODERATE (cg) "...it's strange, and it's pretty consistently funny. But there's a strong undercurrent of cruelty to the humor, verging on poor taste, or at least a lack of real humanity." (Read the full review...) 280 words, 11/18/11

(Read the full review...) 187 words, 10/19/11 Alexandra Cavallo, Boston Phoenix: VERY GOOD (cg) "The last 20 minutes of this delightfully bizarre movie are a monumental head trip.... The point to the whole shebang seems to be, as Robbie's stories imply, that there is no point." (Read the full review...) 166 words, 11/03/11 Noel Murray, AV Club: EXCELLENT (cg) "...gleefully dopey... if the film does have something to say, it's that it's possible to enjoy a trip even when it isn't really going anywhere." (Read the full review...) 372 words, 10/20/11 Simon Abrams, Slant: MODERATE (cg) "...mostly fun in a head-scratching kind of way.... once the film reaches its end, and shit hits the fan at a furious pace for no good reason, director Todd Rohal looks like he's just rubbing the fact that his movie never really had an ending in his audience's face."

(Read the full review...) 314 words, 10/19/11 Scott Tobias, NPR: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "...deeply eccentric and mildly surreal.... feels akin to panning in depleted waters: Each little nugget of wisdom turns out to be fool's gold.... has a shaggy-dog charm that's hard to resist." (Read the full review...) 646 words, 10/20/11 Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...a grating and witless would-be spoof of religion, male-bonding and, it seems, horror movies....

Rob Nelson, Daily Variety: POOR "Giving the benefit of considerable doubt to writer-director Todd Rohal, one could say his unfunny farce is terrible on purpose.... toilet humor isn't enough to constitute comedy, while the leads' grating perfs make 81 minutes feel eternal." (Read the full review...) 281 words, 02/06/11 James Greenberg, Hollywood Reporter: FAIR "...the pieces of the film don't really come together as a whole. Writer/director Todd Rohal deserves credit for having a quirky vision and sticking to it, even if it makes no sense and isn't particularly funny."
