Blue Like Jazz Ratings & Reviews
NECN
Erick Weber
A hot mess that somehow manages to somewhat redeem itself by the final frame but sadly not enough to save it from ultimate damnation.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
reveals the shallowness of the college years in which an otherwise legal adult can act like a child well into his 20s
Filmwell
Jeffrey Overstreet
[It] playfully serves up more food for thought than most comedies we've seen so far this decade.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
The vocabulary of faith should not be the exclusive property of one small subset of believers; it is heartening to watch a movie that makes that point with such grace.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Just earnest enough to blend its religious theme with a beer-chugging hero for a surprisingly contemporary look at faith.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
The film's heart is in the right place; it just can't make the rest of its parts function smoothly.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
An uncommon thoughtfulness about spiritual issues distinguishes this otherwise generic coming-of-age story.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The primary problem with Blue Like Jazz is that there is no believable character development.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
"Blue Like Jazz" is a pleasant film, as well-intentioned as the character Don himself, but it ducks the thorniest questions of faith and dogma while patting itself on the back for realism.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It is - somewhat surprisingly, given the heavy-handed subject - neither sanctimonious nor preachy.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
It tackles existential struggles that many of us grapple with - and the film industry virtually ignores - while doing so in an entertaining way.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
An overlong mishmash of coming-of-age comedy, social satire and spiritual think-piece whose ultimate stance on religion feels awfully fuzzy.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
Don's crisis of faith, which should be the movie's core and engine, is never really convincing. It's spelled out but dramatically inert, lost among the yuks of the Reed kookiness.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
This is a movie with heart but too many distractions.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The outcome rarely seems out of God's hands, and the filmmaking is low-budget-earnest to the point of drabness - it's not a movie to make converts.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
The kind of work that thinks it's saying something important but feels more pretentious than precious.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
It's a glorious anomaly: a subtle, sophisticated, open-minded, and courageously non-judgmental Christian film even non-believers can enjoy. Hallelujah!
Village Voice
Benjamin Mercer
One only has so much patience ... for watching Communion-wafer-thin characters caught in a liberal-arts cartoon.
Slant Magazine
R. Kurt Osenlund
Blue Like Jazz charts a typical existential coming-of-age tale, yet remains atypical by being hip while also treating religion fairly.
