There was obviously much to this woman, yet somehow Visions feels curiously empty feeling.

Vision is shot through with issues of power - personal, political, spiritual. Which makes it a terrifically resonant work.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

Barbara Sukowa brings her veteran presence to the role, and nicely fuses its dual nature, holy instrument and holy terror, the passive vessel of a higher power and the active force of the good mother.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Although this true story offers numerous opportunities for skepticism and irony, director Margarethe von Trotta accords Hildegard the respect of a proto-feminist forebear and frames her in golden light like a Vermeer painting.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

It's hard to muster more than curious indifference to Margarethe von Trotta's "Vision: From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen."
