Leave your thoughts about As I Lay Dying.
| TIME MagazineMary CorlissIn many respects this is a faithful and intelligent synopsis of the book. |
| Film School RejectsShaun MunroIt is not so much that Franco has butchered Faulkner's novel as he has inflicted a garish blight upon the art of cinema. |
| CraveOnlineFred TopelThe I Melt With You of the Cannes Film Festival |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyLike Franco’s other directorial efforts, it ends up coming across as an academic art object, somewhere halfway between a graduate thesis and a video installation—interesting, but only in context. |
| Film Comment MagazineJustin StewartA qualified, perfectly respectable success |
| IndiewireBoyd Van HoeijThe film seems to have been made to suggest something of Faulkner's style in a cinematic medium, and it's certainly laudable that there have been very few concessions to the marketability of a project like this. |
| HitFixGuy LodgeAs interpretation, it's timid at best, taking the emotional accents of its irony-strewn, often bitterly funny source very much at face value. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyFranco, employing diverse cinematic techniques from split screen (mostly early on) to direct-to-camera address, makes the Bundrens’ time of trial more immediately coherent than it is on the page without disrespecting Faulkner’s oblique style. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonWhat Franco came up with... is messy, bizarre, muted, and confusing, but it's also heartfelt and personal. It takes more risks than most movies. |
| VarietyLeslie FelperinFranco offers up a competently acted, technically adequate Cliff Notes take on Faulkner’s narratively refracted tale of dirt-poor Mississippi folk in mourning. |
