This is a film focused on acting. Its two main actors; Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby are the center of attention, although of course relying on the fixation that cinema has for Ted Bundy. Therefore despite having a slightly more focused nuance, the film cannot avoid feeding on the Bundy's myth, because what makes the film attractive is that it deals with a men like him. Would it be the same with an unknown murderer? Doubtful. If you like this movie you should watch Mindhunter on Netflix. A superior approach into the subject, not Bundy though.

As good as both actors are, watching characters sitting around talking gets old. But the film perks up considerably midway through, becoming a taut beat-the-clock thriller as it covers the days just before Bundy’s 1989 execution, the tension lying in whether Ted will fulfill his 11th-hour promise to confess.

Sealey’s film may not add up to a fully realized and coherent film, she has nevertheless made an engrossing feature that recontextualizes Bundy not as the alluring psychopath, but as a profoundly desperate figure, who craves attention.

It’s a chilling psychological inquiry that holds your attention for the duration.

No Man of God doesn't tell us anything about Ted Bundy we didn't already know, but it's a riveting drama anchored by two phenomenal performances from Luke Kirby and Elijah Wood.

As an exploration of the misogyny that drove Bundy’s crimes, Amber Sealey’s film mostly falls short of its potential.

(Mauro Lanari) I did not expect anything at the level of "Capote" (Miller 2005), but not even a film reduced to an interminable dialogue between two who have essentially nothing of the "profiler" and "serial killer". The acting performances go around in circles.

Acting was good but thats about it for me. I mean I saw recently the movie which portrayed more about Bundy and what happened, plus saw other things about the topic and after all that this one felt quite bland. Of course it depicted more the process afterwards, but for me the movie felt too boring mostly.
