Once upon a time, in the 1980s and early 1990s, American independent movies did not seek to merely ape Hollywood formulas. They were more than just feature-length resumes for shrewd, enterprising filmmakers who had nothing to say, but dreamed of saying it with a big-studio budget. Back then, independent films provided a different kind of movie experience; they challenged and provoked audiences--and none more so than 1991's The Rapture, written and directed by Michael Tolkin, the man who wrote the screenplay for The Player, Robert Altman's scathing anti-Hollywood comedy. Mimi Rogers plays Sharon, a lost soul who gives up her hedonistic life of sex and drugs when she finds God and becomes a fundamentalist Christian fanatic. Her pilgrim's progress, presented in a deadpan, nonjudgmental style, culminates quite literally in the title event--the Second Coming, the Apocalypse, the end of the world, or whatever you want to call it. Rogers's fearless performance becomes all the more provocative when you recall that the actress is a lifelong member of the Church of Scientology. The Rapture is a mind-boggling, wildly ambitious movie that's open to myriad interpretations. But no matter what you make of it, it's sure to leave you engaged and shaken. --Jim Emerson

This is just porn with a spiritual tag. The acting is laughable and the plot has nothing to do with the rapture. Even the $5.97 price was a waste of money.

The primary reason I purchased this movie is because David Duchovny is in it. The plot line was interesting but I had no idea what to expect from it. In the first few scenes, it seemed like an ordinary "R" film. When Mimi Rodgers' character was introduced to God by two men giving away Gideon Bibles, I figured that it would get sappy. But, it didn't. The only unbelievable part is how she met the man she married (David Duchovny's character). She gives a powerful performance as a religious fanatic who carries her belief to a horribly tragic ending. This film depicts zealous fanaticism without being judgmental or opinionated. It is truly one of the best movies I have ever seen. I wasn't a Mimi Rodgers fan before but I am now!!

Mimi Rogers always says in interviews that this is her favorite film. I remember wathcing it years ago and being blown away by the ending. The ending still has the same impact twenty years later.
Worth watching
