Summary: What are the first existential queries that lead us to question the absolute and consult teachers, parents, priests or older siblings? The Big Question is based on an idea that is very simple yet rather complex: it poses extremely direct questions to a large and varied group of people regarding their own intimate perception of the divine.What are the first existential queries that lead us to question the absolute and consult teachers, parents, priests or older siblings? The Big Question is based on an idea that is very simple yet rather complex: it poses extremely direct questions to a large and varied group of people regarding their own intimate perception of the divine.

Critic Reviews

Lawrence Van Gelder

The overall effect, especially given the gorgeous setting and liquid-gold cinematography, is less a discussion of the divine than a commercial for it. Read full review

Robert Koehler

Intriguing and surprisingly witty. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The film's tone - a mix of childlike directness, twee whimsy and arty sentimentality - is a matter of taste. Read full review

Joshua Land

While the questions may be universal, they're not particularly original, and the responses largely run the expected range, rendering the whole project less enlightening than your average collegiate coffee-and-cigarettes bull session. Read full review

Frank Scheck

What might have made for an interesting short film lacks the weight to sustain its feature (albeit, brief) length, and even the presence of Mel Gibson, Jim Caviezel (in full bloody Christ mode) and Monica Bellucci is unlikely to attract any but the "Passion" obsessed. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Most of the interviews are as brief as they are obvious, and it doesn't help that none of those interviewees, including clergymen who served as technical advisers, are identified. Read full review
