A young woman with no strong religious beliefs, Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) begins having strange and violent experiences, showing signs of the wounds that Jesus received when crucified. When the Vatican gets word of Frankie's situation, a high-ranking cardinal (Jonathan Pryce) requests that the Rev. Andrew Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne) investigate her case. Soon Kiernan realizes that very sinister forces are at work, and tries to rescue Frankie from the entity that is plaguing her.

Critics Consensus

The story is unconvincing and the acting is weak.

A more bone-chilling experience is trying to solve the mystery of whether Arquette, Gabriel Byrne, as the Vatican priest trying to save her, and Nia Long, as the best friend on stand-by, needed to be in a hit this badly.

Unless you are an admirer of splicing, production design and cinematography, there's not much point in seeing the film.

Tom Lazarus and Rick Ramage should be ashamed to have written such nonsense!

Masking incoherence with a barrage of stylized images, Wainwright makes a lot of noise and still manages to say nothing.

There’s hardly a laugh to be found in it unless you get sick of the relentless visionary anguish and start getting the giggles.

If you enjoy ... editing that doesn't so much create jump scares as intrusive walls of displeasure, you'll get all that from Stigmata.

This is a guilty pleasure.

Beautiful film, challenging soundtrack, deeply moody, and honestly showing Important criticisms of the Catholic Church, modern spirituality, and souls tormented in isolation. If anything you should at the very least see Stigmata as a really pretty art film.

I'm not really into religious movies, but I gave this a chance. It was only ok.

Stigmata is a pretty interesting little "possession" film with some very solid performances. If you love the '90s, look no further... from the music, the fashion, the editing... film doesn't get much more '90s than Stigmata. Granted, it's a bit anticlimactic for my taste, but still an entertaining ride.
