October 14, 2010I really, really liked this movie. Jeremy Sisto does a very good job. This is one of those movies that I never even heard of, but it turned out to be VERY interesting.

April 23, 2010fb1144932598Heartbreakingly sad film about a woman seeking absolution from a priest unable to give it. Powerful emotions are in play with this multi-layered story that easily could have slid into a lurid sex tale but managed to stay above the fray. Explores the power of forgiveness and rando... read more

December 16, 2011fb677587177This movie is painfully boring. I love Jeremy Sisto and usually enjoy Kristin Chenoweth, but this is just awful. There's very little plot, and what little there is, is very forgettable. The acting is very wooden and surfacey and I really don't think I'll remember anything about t... read more

May 1, 2011A compelling indie drama which also manages to be funny and suspenseful. It relies heavily on the acting from the not-so-well-known cast. Jeremy Sisto is surprisingly good and is almost unrecognizable in the lead role.

January 24, 2010Entertaining. If nothing else, it was interesting seeing "Kevin" from the Office play a serious role, and if not for the integral role of the Catholic Church (and message therein), I would have enjoyed the movie quite a bit more.

January 10, 2010Strange thing about this movie; nothing exciting really ever happens, but I was never bored or disinterested. I really found myself worried and wondering what would happen to Linda, although I probably always knew in the back of my mind. I've never seen her play any role like thi... read more

Rob Nelson, Variety
A Catholic-themed indie of occasionally irreverent wit, Into Temptation is appropriately tough to resist. Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Christian Toto, What Would Toto Watch?
Into Temptation treats Catholocism - and its audience - with a great deal of respect. Full Review

Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
Sharply constructed with a heavy spray of noirish aroma, Temptation is a uniquely accomplished indie film, wielding salacious material sensitively, building an intoxicating sense of intrigue and disco... Full Review
