Leave your thoughts about No God, No Master.
| It's Just MoviesRon WilkinsonGreat history and plenty of bombs and explosions but lacking the glitz to be a great crime thriller. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDespite its occasional missteps, the film relates its important and sadly too-little-known story with skill and efficiency. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelChris Foran"No God, No Master" is at its best when it sticks with Straithairn, who brings an added humanity to a role designed to celebrate the value of that very trait. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanNo God, No Master has an authentic period feel. But Green is focused on so many historical figures and potential storylines that the film feels rushed and, at times, confusing. |
| The DissolveChris KlimekIt’s clunky, it’s hokey, it was clearly made on the cheap. It’s also ambitious in a way that more expensive films are rarely allowed to be anymore. |
| Village VoiceDanny KingGreen's historical diligence proves rewarding... But the movie, shot largely in Milwaukee in 2009, can still be dry. |
| FILMINK (Australia)John NoonanThe attention to detail is strong and it's hard not to think about De Palma's The Untouchables. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleSo much blandly sweeping, speechifying history and so little personalized dramatic focus turn No God, No Master into a series of issue-driven snapshots instead of something genuinely illuminating. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe great David Strathairn can make any film watchable, but even he can’t save this dry dramatic thriller. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDignified to a fault and crammed with historical worthies (like a pre-deportation Emma Goldman), this dry tour of union hall strife and kitchen table sentiment wears its sympathies proudly. |
