| Boxoffice MagazineJohn P. McCarthyIt's easy to get depressed by much of the behavior depicted in Phillip the Fossil, yet the talents behind the picture are a cause for optimism. The last thing they appear to be is hypocritical. |
| New York TimesMike HaleThat the movie remains consistently watchable is largely a tribute to Brian Hasenfus, a Needham, Mass., contractor making his acting debut as Phillip. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe film isn't very good for reasons common to a low-budget work early in a director's career. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibThe edge achieved by director-editor-producer-scribe Garth Donovan is jeopardized by overreaching for topical relevance. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeDonovan's idiosyncratic approach to character develops a compelling rhythm, but the film falters when a dramatic double climax pushes it past its low-key limits. |
