"Stigmata is a collection of moments that speak to the rapture of religion. Not Catholicism, but the cult of personality and perhaps the cult of film as well. It's a voyeur's shrine--the pictures we keep of beautiful people and profound images that don't tie into any throughline save for some feeling of engagement with the universe of the self... deeply felt and faux-profound at once and, like all great Theater of the Absurd, able to highlight the extra-textual consequence of that tension. It's a film of its time, more explicable as a marker of a digital moment and part of a contemporary sociological conversation; it works best freed from the responsibility to make literal sense." - Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
