Michael Booth

Denver Post

Feels like a movie you'd find late at night on a film-festival program, sincere and worthy, yet not quite watchable.

Rated: 1.5/4

Jeff Shannon

Seattle Times

This is an indie film in the genuine spirit of the word (not some studio-subsidized boutique product), showing compassion while following its own course of low-key redemption.

Rated: 2.5/4

Austin Chronicle

Like a real neighborhood, it pulses with its own unique heartbeat, and it's one that deserves to be heard.

Film Freak Central

The picture is hopeless: hopelessly earnest, hopelessly well-intentioned, hopelessly bad.

Seems to have grown from careful observation, but this could be a case where one story would have trumped many.

J S

This was an accurate retelling of Gov Mcgreevy's very public fall from grace. But it is more a story of redemption. His regrets seem sincere and heartfelt. The film maker captures his incredible gift/ ability to connect with people from every walk of life and proof of his sustained, self imposed "penance"--to go forward devoted to a life of service. A beautiful film.
