Leave your thoughts about God's Pocket.
| New York PostKyle SmithAs for Hoffman, the shambling Everyman naturalism he shows here gives God’s Pocket an added elegiac layer that makes its bitter ironies that much more painful. |
| SignatureLisa RosmanSo long as Slattery trains his lens on the bars and back rooms of this salty-dog slum, this film is great fun, if an acquired taste. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordSometimes "God's Pocket" is funny, sometimes serious and always uneven in its balance of the two. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonWhile the framework suggests an intriguing examination of guilt and redemption, the approach is too earnest and the story is too contrived. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickIf this film is any indication, [John] Slattery has an auspicious second career ahead of him behind the camera. |
| Richard Roeper.comRichard RoeperWhile the subject matter is often bleak, this isn’t a depressing journey. Seeing great actors at the top of their game working with such rich material is never a downer. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThese characters and their dilemmas could be the stuff of great, or at least good, drama, but Slattery's insistence on accentuating their sorrows with clinically depressed art direction wears thin rather quickly. |
| The ListMatthew TurnerSlattery draws terrific performances from his superb cast: Hoffman and Turturro make an appealing best buddies double act, while Hendricks is heart-breaking as the grief-stricken mother and her scenes with Jenkins are quietly devastating. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris BarsantiThere's not a moment in the film when Slattery doesn't convey with absolute clarity what each character is about and where they fit in their small, restricted world. Unfortunately, that's not enough to bring this film across the finish line. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyIn his feature film directorial debut, John Slattery takes this dark little story and makes it into an impressive film with outstanding performances by a fine cast. |
