New York Post V.A. Musetto

Inventive and bold, Jesus, You Know will especially resonate with people, like this critic, whose strict Catholic upbringing (some might call it brainwashing) inalterably shaped their lives.

TV Guide Ken Fox

If watching devout churchgoers pray to Jesus before a static camera sounds like the dullest idea ever for a documentary, think again: This might be the most fun you've ever had in church.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Engrossing documentary.

Village Voice Ed Halter

Complex and deeply moving documentary.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

Tells the truth where it counts most: in its unblinking exploration of one of the most private of human experiences.

Boston Globe Janice Page

Whatever blend of fact and fiction is really at work in this latest offering from ''Dog Days" director Ulrich Seidl -- known, by the way, for playing fast and loose with the documentary format -- the irony-laced ''Jesus, You Know" does persuade viewers to sit up and take notice of its inspired conceit.

Variety Leslie Felperin

Visually glorious and sometimes moving, but comes coated with a thick hoarfrost of irony.

Edward R. gave it a9:
Fascinating and moving film. This believer was struck by how heartfelt the prayers of these six people were. The artworks intercut with their prayers may have been inanimate, but the people were quite clearly praying to the Living God. Beautiful, very much worth seeking out.
