For all its bloody and violent genre trappings, "Pilgrimage" is a gorgeously shot film that carefully renders the details of this fascinating historical period.

It's interesting as far as it goes, but you wish it would have gone farther.

What really makes Pilgrimage buzz ... is an impressively scuzzy ambience powered by repeated outbreaks of raw violence.

4.5/5

Made with a small budget and shot in thirty days, “Pilgrimage” sleekly maneuvers through its limitations instead of succumbing to them.

Severely dull in its first half and breathless in its second.

B-Grade. Pretty average but mildly entertaining. If you’re bored and can’t find anything better to watch it will do the job. But it’s far from the best movie you’ll see.

Pilgrimage (2017) Honestly, I thought this movie was pretty bad. The story was boring, I couldn't connect with any of the characters, it was a waste of time.

Slow movie, not very entertaining. Overly violent at times.

This was a fascinating movie with a unique context. Interesting to see the moral grappling of different characters. What is the ‘right’ choice?
