Variety
pressLike the true-life evangelist that inspired it, "Come Sunday" preaches a message of tolerance and inclusivity that couldn't be more relevant in a country grappling with its newfound conservatism.
The Guardian
pressThe good news is that [Chiwetel] Ejiofor is great even in the scenes that don't go anywhere. Those who find heaven here on earth in the form of strong film performances ought to commune with Come Sunday. The rest can sleep in.
Herald Sun
pressA mesmerising contemplation of the clash between rigid dogma and considered reinterpretation.
Collider
pressThose fascinated by crises of faith or stories about religion will find stuff to chew on, but as a feature film it leaves something to be desired.
