Flag Day Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Sean Penn directs himself for the first time and has cast Dylan Penn, his daughter with Robin Wright, as the lead - and the two are absolutely mesmerizing together.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
Movies don't give us many father/daughter relationships this complicated, which makes "Flag Day" even more chilling.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Flag Day suffers from the same repetitive, wearying cycle of reconciliation and disappointment that tends to make movies about addiction such a drag.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Dylan Penn can act. Whatever attention Sean Penn lavished on his daughter to bring out this performance was repaid tenfold.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
It's all rather undifferentiated and scattershot.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
At times quiet and pensive, at others volatile and rebellious, the younger Penn's freshness galvanizes the father-daughter connection and brings Vogel's memoir to life.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Subtle flourishes and evanescent feeling abound throughout "Flag Day," in which Vogel's idealized vision of her father feels simultaneously shining and impossibly tarnished.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Clearly, the picture is a labor of love by the Penns, but too often it just feels labored. There's a sense of everyone trying too hard.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Like Penn's character, "Flag Day" never quite pulls through; as much as you want to believe in it, it winds up a disappointment.
Austin Chronicle
Trace Sauveur
Flag Day desperately wants to be an impassioned testament to the lives of both Jennifer and Dylan, but is hardly ever able to escape the myopic lens of its craftsman.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
It has so much intimacy to it. You can feel how Sean Penn, the director, is in awe of his daughter.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It's clear what the film means to be -- a bittersweet portrait of a daughter's love for her incorrigible father. But the characters don't add up. The complexities and nuances that might have brought them fully to life never made it to the screen.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
"Flag Day" feels as much a love letter from Penn to his own daughter as the story of someone else's.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
As it stretches out, it also thins, its Malick-meets-Cassavetes ambitions never rising above clichés of technique and melodrama.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
While the film sometimes struggles with disparate tones, it's a solid, subtle drama that opts in most cases for restraint over excess.
RogerEbert.com
Ben Kenigsberg
A heavy-handed, maladroit take on material that required a sensitive touch.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Flag Day is not a complete misfire, and if a no-name director had made it, the movie would probably get a pass. But considering the emotional stakes involved it's neither terribly memorable nor moving.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Flag Day is little more than a near-two-hour montage of tear-streaked faces shouting blandly melodramatic lines at each other.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
It's suffused with what you might call the Penn Darkness Factor.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
The movie has few tricks on offer but above all, delivers a solid reminder of Penn's filmmaking talent, and welcome evidence that it runs in the family.
