Leave your thoughts about 10,000 Saints.
| Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanIt'll tug at your heart and send you straight to your vinyl collection - that's a good thing. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldFor a movie with extremely loud punk-rock music at its core, "Ten Thousand Saints" is a pleasantly low-key experience; it's a small-scale character drama about learning to live with loss. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's far from a perfect film, but when it locks on to an emotionally complex moment, the feature succeeds more than a fails. |
| NewcityRay PrideThe cinematography by Ben Kutchins works more from grime than grim, capturing a battered backdrop for the characters rather than a cartoon battlefield of drugs and crime/ |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayVery John Hughes - right down to the eighties setting and the compassion for its troubled teen characters. Well-worth seeing. |
| DCistPat PaduaThere's a lot wrong with [the movie], but I forgive it because most of the actors carry the movie's awkward melodrama--and because it's a reminder of an East Village that's quickly disappearing. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohAlthough it's basically slight, the movie has an ineffable, very urban charm that is honestly earned and feels authentic. |
| CinemaBlend.comGregory Wakeman10,000 Saints reeks of recent indies, but it's elevated by a truly stunning cast, who help it blossom into a genuinely touching coming-of-age tale. |
| RedEyeMatt PaisEthan Hawke is so funny in Ten Thousand Saints that he nearly keeps the movie afloat. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaEqual parts sensitive and overwrought, intelligent and preachy. |
