Critic Reviews

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Just about everyone in this sharp, passionate feature is chillingly good. Read full review

Dana Stevens

An unadorned, unsparing chronicle of a young man's descent into a nightmare of delusion, paranoia and self-destructive behavior. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Revolution #9, which is absorbing and terse, has some subtle, welcome comic relief from Spalding Gray. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Looks with fresh eyes at a new millennium in which, seemingly, the entire world is bought and sold in neatly wrapped packages engineered for mass consumption. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

McCann weaves in a somewhat toothless condemnation of a bureaucracy that forsakes the mentally ill, but Revolution # 9 works better as an inside look at one person's slide into madness -- and, more particularly, the impact of that on his loved ones. Read full review

Jack Mathews

McCann's point of view overwhelms the human elements of his story, but this is, nonetheless, a riveting piece of filmmaking. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

So riddled with unanswered questions that it requires gargantuan leaps of faith just to watch it plod along, while McCann's overly broad strokes miss crucial details as he tries to mount an attack on both the power of the media and an indifferent medical profession. Read full review
