"Totutun tyylikästä uskontokritiiikiä Bunjuelilta. Tätä olisi mielellään katsonut ihan täyspitkän elokuvan verran."

"15/3 - Navaronen Tykit Film Company -meet Buñuel's unfinished masterpiece, probably. The abruptness of the ending actually kind of works, but leaves an unsatisfied feeling no less. More could have been drawn from this subject. The first 45 minutes are fantastic regardless, with plenty of Luis' regular surreal shindigs and trickery. The religious themes are pulled off with intrigue."

"Paholainen esiintyy milloin parrakkaana naisena, milloin kiitää halki aavikon ruumisarkullaan. Yllättävä loppuratkaisu on nerokas, mutta vähän töksähtävä. Mainio ja paikoitellen hauskakin filmi elämän uhraamisesta fanaattisuuden vuoksi."
