Critics Consensus

While it offers few surprises, Acidman uses its fraught father-daughter dynamic to showcase some stellar acting from a pair of smartly selected leads.

Anthony Lane

New Yorker

This film is what would remain if you deleted all the spaceships from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”: the tale of a once ordinary man beset by an unworldly thirst that he can neither explain nor quench.

Variety

Though not without its flaws, this resonant, resourceful indie drama leaves a gentle imprint on audiences’ souls.

In this all too straight-forward drama, Church, an actor perfectly ripened for this role, gives one of the best performances of his career.

Rated: C+

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Acidman has no heroes or villains, despite having a name that sounds like an unknown Marvel character. Relationships are the battleground here. People are at their best and their worst when they’re fighting for the things they love.

It’s an intimate two-hander that takes patience from the viewer, but pays off with a feeling of gentle authenticity.

Boring buzzkill. Guns, dog dies in a gruesome way. Weak plot, great actors. Waste of time. They lost me with the bleeding dog.

The performances bun Haden Church and Agrron really drive this film. Script could have been a bit more meaty but the relationship between the two characters is highly memorable.

Finally, a thinking person's movie. This is by far Thomas Haden Church's finest performance. He brings his character alive, and for all his faults, you grow to love him as much as his daughter does. This movie says science fiction, but it really isn't - kinda. It's about a daughter finding her father. The what's and why's of their dialogue was simply brilliant, and you have to see it to understand it. The only part that needed cutting was the idiots throwing stuff and calling him names. Other than that, it's a masterpiece.

Was not a great watch. Thomas Hayden Church is a one trick pony playing the same character he always plays. There wasn't much going on to categorize this a sci-fi film either, it's more of a drama. I had a hard time empathizing with the characters as well as they were not well developed. Overall i want my 1hr 27min back.
