In the 16th century, Martin Luther (Joseph Fiennes) becomes a monk and later challenges the practices of the Roman Catholic Church.

Critics Consensus

This cinematic treatment of Martin Luther's life is more dull than inspiring.

3/5

Luther is rarely presented as anything other than a preacher. He preaches even in casual conversation.

About as swashbuckling as a history lesson gets.

2/4

A few too many amateurish techniques and oversimplified confrontations hold Luther back a notch or two from greatness, and stamp it instead as entertaining Lutheran cheerleading.

5/10

even with apparent lack of objectivity, LUTHER proves to be more interesting and more accurate depiction of history than anything recently produced by Hollywood

4/5

Interessante por natureza (o tema fascinante), o filme perde pontos pela frieza da narrativa e por simplificar idias e alguns acontecimentos fundamentais na vida de Lutero.

It glosses over the brilliant monk's dark side and ignores his prejudices completely.

I loved the t-pose and the attention to detail, and the superb hairstyles. The beginning was the best, he doesn't get kiiled. He survived like most gods do.

Another solid performance by Fiennes. Not the easiest person to have to portray. Luther was an incredible person and Fiennes' portrayal of him was excellent. Story was overall well developed. I would give the overall execution of the film a high-medium/moderate rating. Definitely worth a watch.
