Critic Reviews

New York Daily News Joe Neumaier

Though Bloom feels like he dropped in from another movie, it all spins on screenwriter Thornton's charismatic performance, which also accounts for the survival instinct inside the film. Read full review

Ruffalo gives voice to the film's unironic point of view. Read full review

Time Out Alison Willmore

A mess-but a beautiful one, crammed with enough big ideas and outsize performances for three movies. Read full review

Village Voice Michelle Orange

Apr 26, 2011

Ruffalo has assembled an exceptional cast-to surround writer and star Christopher Thornton, but a script that favors incident over story and direction that crowds scenes instead of letting them breathe make for curiously rough going. Read full review

Observer Rex Reed

Apr 26, 2011

An odd, confusing, ugly and mostly indigestible movie about religious hysteria and rock 'n' roll-two subjects I find about as interesting as opening a tattoo parlor. I wish I liked the movie half as much as I like the actor. Read full review

Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer

Variety Dennis Harvey

Apr 26, 2011

This offbeat effort proves more admirable for its ambition than anything else, as the uneasy mix of satire, allegory, grittiness and redemption never quite jells. Read full review

Beautifully written inspirational masterpiece. These critics obviously don't understand the message attempted to be displayed in this movie. Great cast. You can tell Thornton put his heart and soul into this film.
