Critic Reviews

Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
A godforsaken lesson on awful filmmaking, relieved only by occasional sharp turns from a crackerjack supporting cast.
Tim Grierson, L.A. Weekly
Though meagerly plotted and devoid of narrative surprise, the micro-budgeted Divine Intervention cuts deeper than your typical Hollywood rom-com because of its willingness to address real problems confronting the African-American community.
