Leave your thoughts about Heaven Knows What.
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesFans of the cinematic street poet Larry Clark (Kids, Bully) might go for this, though the unexpected moments of dignity and compassion that deepen his characters are in short supply here. |
| National PostCalum MarshThe Safdies observe it all with a smart, sensitive eye, and of the truth miss nothing. Holmes, meanwhile, is electrifying: she really is a star. |
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfAs gritty as Heaven Knows What often feels, it’s leavened by empathy and poetic moments: desperate kisses, a passed-out couch nap lit by slanting sunbeams, the beautifully eerie synth music of Tomita. This isn’t an easy watch, but it validates every risk we want our most emboldened filmmakers to take. |
| GuardianJordan HoffmanThis is an exciting, creative and exhilarating jolt of cinema, and one of the more perfect "small gems" to arrive for some time. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenDespite the undeniable novelty of having Holmes on hand to keep it real, the absence of traditional character development ultimately takes its toll on viewer empathy. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsHeaven Knows What, will not appeal to the majority of casual moviegoers. Likewise, I have no doubts regarding the film's remarkable achievement. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpAesthetically, the Safdies' have made a picture of urgent, abrasive beauty. |
| NewcityRay PrideWhat could kill her? What she believes: that she has a freighted case of true and fated love, or at least a willful misapprehension that nothing matters more than him. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasHeaven Knows What isn’t interested in merely exploring the world of New York City addicts. It wants to make their experiences felt, with the dissonant, amp-cracking roar of a punk anthem. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughAll this desperation and squalor reeks of authenticity. Many of the actors are from the streets themselves, and such locations as a crash pad rented out by a dotty lady could never be dreamed up by a Hollywood screenwriter. |
