Leave your thoughts about Wrestling with Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner.
| Chicago Sun-TimesHedy WeissThe final portrait is unquestionably entertaining, very occasionally teasing and largely adoring. Because Kushner is a devoted political commentator, his thoughts on everything from America's role in the world to the nature of Zionism are on full display. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxMock's film leaves us with a sense of gratitude and relief that so thoughtful an artist as Kushner continues to work among us, capturing and reacting to the world as he buzzes through it. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerKushner's proactive stance on gay rights is prominently aired and, to a lesser extent, so are his musings on the Arab-Israeli situation. His participation in the screenplay for Steven Spielberg's controversial "Munich" did not make it into the film. |
| San Francisco ChronicleSteve WinnA canny piece of filmmaking, sure to absorb both audiences familiar with Kushner's plays and those who know little or nothing about him. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanDespite the accumulated facts, the lack of any commentators outside Kushner's circle of family and admirers and the refusal, in fact, to wrestle with the thornier questions of identity and criticism make this a worthwhile but imperfect film. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe filmmaker invites us to reconsider the author as someone warmer and less intimidating than his body of work. On that count, Wrestling With Angels succeeds. |
| Miami HeraldMarta BarberWrestling with Angels is personal and intimate, insightful about Kushner as well as instructive about his collection of works. |
| San Francisco ChronicleSteven WinnWrestling With Angels is a canny piece of filmmaking, sure to absorb both audiences familiar with Kushner's plays and those who know little or nothing about him. |
| Houston ChronicleJoey GuerraA sentimental valentine to a man who, underneath it all, simply wants to move people with his message. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirshlingWrestling with Angels could use some brouhaha: It's a bit too much of a pleasant air kiss from a fan, and doesn't engage inquisitively enough with Kushner's often controversial and very political ideas. |
