Reception
In a positive review, Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Whatever your take, the crazy story behind Exorcist II: The Heretic is ultimately one of nostalgia — for a time when ambitious filmmakers like Boorman could go to Hollywood and commit 'the sin of hubris,' and then go to hell for it." [2]
Alison Foreman of IndieWire gave the film a B+, writing, "David Kittredge delivers a dazzling reflection on the career of John Boorman in the documentary Boorman and the Devil, a robust reframing of the legendary director's Exorcist II: The Heretic, as strange and poetic as the disastrous 1977 production itself." [1]
Daniel Kurland of Bloody Disgusting was also positive, writing, "Boorman and the Devil is absolutely everything that you'd want from an Exorcist II deep dive reclamation. Kittredge's thorough exploration of this title is evident, and compelling information is put together in an impressive, comprehensive package that avoids many of the standard talking head documentary pitfalls. It's also surprisingly funny." [3]
