Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com People sometimes complain that flashy, ostentatious visual stylization takes them out of the movie; what took me out of this movie was its flat, lifeless, unimaginative and conventional visual style ... Rated: 2/4 Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times The film, financed by a Kickstarter campaign, looks polished enough. But its investors' money might have been better spent elsewhere. Jun 12, 2014 Full Review Inkoo Kang Los Angeles Times [Towne] proves unable to keep the film's originality from rapidly curdling into preposterousness. Jun 12, 2014 Full Review Nikola Grozdanovic The Playlist While there are more than a couple moments of tenderness, which most parents and children will be able to relate to, the great intentions "I Am I" may have had with its intimate story of bonding fall far too short. Rated: D+ Aug 24, 2014 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Towne's premise is, to say the least, a bit trying, and she does not help matters by presenting it in such a grimly purposeful manner, devoid of any relieving black humor one would think inherent in her material. Jun 12, 2014 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Isn't bold work, but it's interesting when it finds true intimacy, masterminding a few suspenseful moments of poor judgment and bruised hearts that hold attention. Rated: B Jun 11, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
