Leave your thoughts about Levity.
| VarietyTodd McCarthyDespite an effectively low-key performance by Billy Bob Thornton in the leading role, pic is no more spiritually insightful or illuminating than Sunday School instructional story, and a lot less dramatically coherent. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittSolomon keeps the drama generally clear and interesting, though some touches make the film-noir plot seem too pretentious. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterPonderously paced and weighed down by a well-meant but mostly failed attempt to explore spiritual issues. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA thoughtful, almost poetic, piece that puts forth the argument that redemption is not easily achieved. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chase. . . a serious, thoughtful, even intriguing script that wrestles with the theological and philosophical questions of redemption |

| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthSmells suspiciously of indie self-consciousness. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThis quiet story occasionally resounds with emotion, and Solomon is a talent to watch. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel GillespiePonderously paced and weighed down by a well-meant but mostly failed attempt to explore spiritual issues. |
