Details

Movie Description After being squeezed out of his church by his ex-wife, a Texas fundamentalist preacher's alcohol-fueled rage sends him off the deep end. After beating her new beau into a coma, he flees to Louisiana and seizes the chance to reinvent himself as a devout "Apostle," founding a new church and captivating the citizenry while keeping his sins buried. Duvall, who also wrote and produced, is riveting in the title role. Academy Award Nominations: 1--Best Actor (Duvall).
Industry Reviews "...Fascinating, eccentric....[Duvall is] righteous, charismatic....Enough to renew your faith -- in movies, at the very least..." -- Rating: A- Burr
"...A sweetly believable tone....A rare display of spiritual light on screen..." New York Times - Janet Maslin (12/17/1997)
"...A lyrical tale of redemption....Duvall delivers a bravura, Oscar-quality performance....THE APOSTLE is a profoundly humane movie that crackles with the joy and sorrow of an old blues record..." Premiere - Jason Matloff (02/01/1998)
"...THE APOSTLE is a good little movie dominated by a great central performance that's likely to endure..." USA Today - Mike Clark (01/30/1998)
"...THE APOSTLE sees its characters in an unusually perceptive light; they have the complexity and spontaneity of people in a documentary..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (01/30/1998)
