Provocative, captivating and profoundly illuminating. You'll be talking about it for weeks.

Reviews for Oh My God
1 - 13 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
One reaches the conclusion fairly early in Rodger's gorgeously photographed but obnoxiously quick-cut-edited film that the question "What is God?" has no satisfactory nor universally agreeable answers.
11/13/09
Peter Rodger does a fairly comprehensive job of traversing the globe in 98 minutes, posing the age-old question, "What is God?"
11/13/09
Top CriticScattershot documentary about the meaning of God won't win any converts.
11/13/09
[A] picturesque but shallow inquiry into the meaning of God.
11/13/09
Top CriticWhile beautiful photography of the faraway lands Rodger visits and crisp editing keep the movie flowing at a fast pace, Oh My God remains a hit-and-miss collection of interviews that fail to create a single, compelling message.
11/13/09
A gorgeously filmed documentary that takes us to 23 countries and conveys the diverse paths to God in the world's major religions.
11/13/09
Hearing snoring from behind me at a screening the other day, I looked around and noticed four people had dozed off during the prettily photographed, boring vanity project that is Oh My God?
11/13/09
Compacts nearly three years' worth of globe-trotting interviews into an often visually vibrant but rhetorically muddled package.
11/12/09
Top CriticThe one thing many people seem to agree on is that whatever they feel for God, they can't really explain it. How revealing.
11/12/09
British commercial photographer Peter Rodger took his camera -- and a crew to document him using his camera -- around the world like a well-connected dilettante, asking people the uselessly vague question ''What is God?''
11/11/09
The musings of celebrities like Seal and Ringo Starr are given prominence over those of religious leaders and scholars, while a relentless Moby-esque soundtrack subsumes each insight into a sonic miasma of theism.
11/11/09
The drubbing score leaves one nearly insensate to the fact that Rodgers has nothing original or even interesting to say about his subject, flattening fine points of scripture to recommend interfaith group hugs.
