"Sons of Perdition" is a captivating testament, but the silence of the daughters is the real revelation. Go to Full Review

What's here is compelling, if occasionally hard to follow. Go to Full Review

Their valiant attempt to find themselves is stirring, and sometimes depressing, as they backslide into alcohol and drugs. Go to Full Review

The FLDS exiles featured in Sons of Perdition fare better than you might expect and a "where are they now" coda provides more encouraging news. Go to Full Review

10/05/2015 Sons is interesting on one level, but much like it's runaways, it's wandering and lost with no real focus or goals. It just sort of comes and goes and leaves you wondering how groups like FLDS remain in existence in our modern world. See more 05/01/2014 In the absence of a clear narrative, it's not much of a movie; but, even as an episodic glimpse into its subject, it's a convincing condemnation of a true American horror story. See more 04/09/2014 One of the less interesting things I've watched about the Warren Jeffs clan. It left me feeling frustrated, and not much else. See more 03/02/2014 Would be interesting to know the kids or hang out with them soon after they've adopted a typical all-American family lifestyle. See more 02/26/2014 A fascinating look into the polygamist cult in The Crick (Colorado City, AZ) and their brainwashing practices. Like most documentaries, it made me appreciate the life I have. See more 12/18/2013 A group of teens who escape a fundamentalist Mormon community and how they struggle to integrate into their new world, while trying to help family members left behind.
