      Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A fascinating dissection of altruism, empathy, and personal exploration. Mar 18, 2023 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast By exploring the rewarding and self-affirming nature of altruism Penny Lane (one of the best documentary filmmakers working) may have created one of the best examinations of a modern society that wants to do good but also pat themselves hard on the back. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 18, 2023 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Director [Penny] Lane brings much of her trademark humor and levity to this serious subject. Rated: 8/10 Jul 13, 2023 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine The director’s signature inquisitiveness and playfulness fuel the film. Confessions of a Good Samaritan retains the sense of humour of Lane’s prior works even if one senses a change of heart. May 15, 2023 Full Review Megan Seling The Stranger (Seattle, WA) It’s fascinating, poignant, and even funny. May 15, 2023 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate It might not convince everyone who sees it to go under the knife themselves, but Confessions of a Good Samaritan is a deceptively rich work that will change the way people see the world. Rated: 10/10 May 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
