Pilgrimage is a compelling historical drama with stellar performances, unforeseen twists, and excellent Blu-ray video and audio specs, though not entirely perfect.

*"Pilgrimage's sharp 1080p Blu-ray, with a muted palette and consistent black levels, captures the scenic landscapes of Ireland and Belgium with excellent detail and visual texture. Despite an efficient AVC encoding around 21 Mbps, the desaturated colors fit its grim 13th-century setting, making it expressive and visually striking."*

Audio: 73

Pilgrimage's audio presentation shines with a meticulously mastered 5.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack, delivering an immersive surround mix with compelling dynamics and exceptional clarity. The score by Stephen McKeon is a standout, intensifying scenes with orchestral and choral elements, complemented by clear dialogue and effective LFE.

Extra: 40

RLJ Entertainment offers a robust Blu-ray experience with five engaging behind-the-scenes featurettes, in-depth cast interviews, and impressive technical insights on fight choreography, visual effects, and linguistic authenticity, despite the absence of a writer/director commentary.

Movie: 73

Set against the backdrop of 13th-century Ireland, 'Pilgrimage' skillfully explores faith and conflict as monks transport a sacred relic amidst brutal battles, superbly directed by Brendan Muldowney and featuring powerful performances from Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal, though it struggles to connect with contemporary viewers beyond its historical context.
