Movie Reviews

Juicy Cerebellum - 9/10 by Alex SandellYour typical 80s nightmare. Fox does NOT work as a rock star.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThis is a family drama, all right - but not one of those neat docudramas in which every character comes attached to a fashionable problem, and all the problems are solved in the same happy ending. The family in Light of Day is more like your average, everyday, unhappy family in which the biggest problem is that some of the members quite simply hate each other.
Associated Press - 8/10 by Bob ThomasLight of Day flounders because of Schrader's simplistic symbolism: the rebellious children, the unhearing mother, the lifeless father. The story limps from one predictable scene to the next.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Michael WilmingtonDespite the over-the-edge quality of her character, Rowlands makes even the most ludicrous lines seem feasible. Fox is basically miscast as the good-natured brother who idolizes his sister and tries to cover for her. Jett looks the part and even manages to hit the mark from time to time, but for every hit there’s a miss.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Janet MaslinAs in Blue Collar and Hardcore, Mr. Schrader shows himself capable of launching the action in a powerhouse style. Once again, that forcefulness deteriorates as the film progresses.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Rita KempleyFor the most part, American movies concern the middle class, console the poor and celebrate the rich, and Schrader tried to pay blue-collar culture its due. He may have worked an honest day, but he didn't come up with an honest drama.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Hal BoedekerDespite a few good moments here and there and a stunning performance by Gena Rowlands, Light of Day is an anemic drama with little to say.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Paul AttanasioLight of Day is crippled by its confused intentions, a crazy quilt of the good, the bad and the ugly.
ColeSmithey.com - 4/10 by Cole SmitheyA pure time capsule of '80s rock 'n' roll energy. Joan Jett is perfectly cast.
User Review - 10/10 by Lisa SA surprisingly great movie, it's got Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett!
