“Dogma” is one of Smith’s best movies. It’s surprisingly thoughtful as well as crudely funny.

Smith is Catholic, or at least was raised in the religion. He clearly respects Catholicism and is wrestling with it.

Kevin E. G. Perry at The Independent:

⁠"It’s a funny, funny flick, and it makes you think," said Smith. “You walk out of the movie and maybe you think about your own faith or your own spirituality, or maybe not, [but] at least you’ve been entertained.”

Also: “I always felt that – with her infinite patience – God had to be both a woman and Canadian.”

Good news for fans: Smith says there are plans to re-release the film in 2025. “Dogma” has been unavailable on streaming, and the last physical release was a Blu-Ray in 2008, because the rights are owned by Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob.
