Acts of Worship Ratings & Reviews
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Generally competent and contains the heartfelt and persuasive message that judging others is easy, but truly empathizing is hard.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...just not all that entertaining...
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Anita Schmaltz
Rodriguez depicts addicts as a sea of agitated vultures haunting the streets...counteracted by character confrontations forced to move too quickly and predictable plot turns.
San Diego Union-Tribune
David Elliott
Honesty, a great virtue, is insufficient to make a good film.
San Diego Metropolitan
Jean Lowerison
Call me shallow, but the rest of us might prefer something a bit more, well, entertaining.

Eric D. Snider
Man, the life of a junkie sure does suck. I got that point fairly early in Acts of Worship, yet for some reason the movie kept telling me over and over again.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Has all the hallmarks of a high-quality independent production, where real-life texture and genuine emotion more than compensate for lack of polish.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
There is nothing really new or particularly insightful here, and even though Acts is at least watchable, it begins to fade from memory almost immediately.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Rodriguez' view of addiction from the inside, and Reeder's warts-and-all portrayal of a junkie going over the edge, make for a fascinating film.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Rodriguez's film captures the grinding routine of street-level drug use with numbing precision.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
For better and worse, Rosemary Rodriguez's directing debut feels just like what it is -- a drama about addiction made by a recovering addict.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Rosemary Rodriguez makes a worthy debut with this troubling tale of a young druggie struggling to survive on the streets of the East Village.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Despite its crudeness, the film has a number of scenes that are so real they hurt.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Rodriguez makes a promising debut with this unsentimental drama.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
Digna's struggle with sellout guilt is way more interesting than Alix's boilerplate dissembly, but ultimately Digna's just a pawn in the moralist checkmate.
Film Threat
Ron Wells
Some of the acting may not be the best and many of the points aren't made with a soft touch, but damn, I can't think of another film about addiction with a more accurate view from the inside.
Detour Magazine
Brandon Judell
Ana's playing a Lower East Side druggie, who's riding on a seesaw through life. The problem is that this seesaw has two down sides.
