      Leah Pickett Chicago Reader Bolton's confluence of highbrow and lowbrow elements is inelegant at times, but also the basis of this film's untidy appeal. Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Frederick Blichert The Tyee (British Columbia) There is a poetic absurdity at the heart of John Boltons new musical docudrama that is nicely summed up by its title, Aim for the Roses: it implies something beautiful and delicate, but the reality is wilder and more dangerous. Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine Comparisons to Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing are both inevitable and warranted for the film's ingeniously playful approach to documentary form, but there has never been a doc quite like Aim for the Roses. Jul 5, 2019 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew A tale so bizarre it can only be true, Aim for the Roses tells the story of two men with a soft spot for gonzo spectacle. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Chris Knight National Post Director John Bolton splits him time in this documentary between the story of Carter's big jump and the tale of the Haney's opus. Each story is fascinating in its own way. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 4, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
