Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by G. Allen JohnsonOne of the year's most important documentaries, a real must-see.
Premiere - 9/10 by Aaron HillisA conventional but genuinely heartrending exposé of the Indiana boy who grew to be a powerful religious cult leader, director Stanley Nelson's thoroughly researched doc is not a posthumous character assassination, which would be all too easy and unnecessary.
New York Post - 9/10 by Kyle SmithFive people did escape, and they contribute their stories to the spellbinding documentary.
TV Guide Magazine - 9/10 by Maitland McDonaghNelson's film eschews sensationalism, and knowing how the story ends in no way diminishes its visceral impact.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranThis calm and thorough film has just the right attitude and tone to deal with a most incendiary story.
Salon.com - 9/10 by Andrew O'HehirI can't imagine anyone not being both horrified and fascinated by Stanley Nelson's Jonestown: The Life and Death of People's Temple.
Portland Oregonian - 9/10 by Shawn LevyA riveting and impeccably researched documentary.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Bill WhiteStanley Nelson's documentary shows how a religion becomes a cult, and how people are deceived by an ideal.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrHarrowing and inexorable, the film recaptures the progressive insanity of Jim Jones and the hundreds of worshipers in his thrall, and it certainly gives you willies to last for days.
Baltimore Sun - 8/10 by Chris KaltenbachChilling doesn't begin to describe Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple...But the film never gets behind the chill.
