The Rapture
A lonely telephone operator leading an empty, amoral life finds God – only to have her faith continually tested in ways beyond what she could have imagined.
Critics Sentiment
Sharon chooses eternal purgatory over accepting God's love
Sharon shoots Mary to hasten their ascent to Heaven
The massive jump from Mary's shocking murder (3.2) to the literal Rapture occurring (7.8) represents critics' shift from horror at Sharon's actions to fascination with the film's bold supernatural climax.
Critics were deeply divided by this provocative religious thriller, with many praising Mimi Rogers' fearless performance and the film's uncompromising examination of faith while others found it exploitative or poorly executed. The film's literal depiction of the Rapture and Sharon's final defiance of God earned widespread critical acclaim, elevating what many saw as a flawed but memorable and haunting experience.
