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.

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.

One of the less interesting things I've watched about the Warren Jeffs clan. It left me feeling frustrated, and not much else.

Would be interesting to know the kids or hang out with them soon after they've adopted a typical all-American family lifestyle.

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.

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

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

Boston Phoenix

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

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.
