The last part of the film becomes too literal for my taste. This is, nevertheless, an interesting film about the challenges that devout believers invariably face. It pitches Christianity and God as a mystery to be discovered, tracing the arc of Rogers' character from sceptic to firm believer. Worth checking out, even if you don't know (or care) about religion.

Rapture straddles the line between displaying fundamentalist born-again Christianity as something completely serious and something completely crazy. Ultimately this results what I believe is an unintentional ending: God exists, the rapture exists but God is an asshole and the protagonist knows it. Also it has David Duchovny with a bloody righteous mullet.

Despite bearing a striking visual resemblance to Silk Stalkings, and with a pair of cringe-worthy performances from its two child actors, Tolkin pulls off quite a feat here with his tale of a troubled woman who bottoms out, becomes a Born Again, and is faced with an impossible decision on the eve of God's reckoning. Despite some goofy visuals and plot holes, the film strikes at the heart of what it means to have faith and to love a God who seems to play by rules that only he/she/it understands.

Not many films r about an individual's search 4 something as profound as meaning or purpose. And that's only the beginning of this film, which is what drew me in & kept me hooked from there. Unfortunately it sometimes feels like a long waiting game from that point, but the ending is as ballsy as ur ever going 2 c & well worth the wait, as it pulls the plug on the idea that God granted humans "free will" by following religious canon & Judgement Day 2 their cruel, narcissistic & petty conclusions

Engrossing, hypnotic film which quite viciously challenges the notion of religious belief -- and the cling to/rejection of its dogmatism -- telling a story likely to be profoundly confronting regardless of which side of the argument you sit. If nothing else, it also provides an unexpectedly meaty showcase for Rogers; any of the minor flaws in the story-telling and other performances are more than compensated for by the recklessly daring spirit of the enterprise, leading to a perfect finale.

"The very title evokes slippery visions of both spirit and sex." - Keith Uhlich

Don't agree with the portrayal of Christianity, but it takes Christianity seriously. The film does a good job of keeping your attention.

interesting to a point, but fizzles out

Incredibly dark, difficult to watch, but an amazing film. This addresses fundamentalism, faithlessness, and someone's inability to love in a way I have not seen. The acting, screenplay, and directing are all phenomenal.

A VERY interesting view of Christianity. One of the most memorable endings of all time, at least for me.

Strange, strange movie that never quite plays out the way you expect. Th middle sags a little, but the ending is really gripping. Despite what it may seem, it advances a very neutral position concerning religion and devotion. I really can't emphasize how strange this movie is.
