Holy Rollers Ratings & Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Christopher Kelly
The tense dynamic between these two fine actors, not to mention Asch's confident feel for New York City circa the late-1990s, keeps this slightly undercooked but wholly engrossing melodrama on course.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's not a terrible movie, but all the way through you feel as if you've already seen it.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
As a thriller, it's bubkes.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Holy Rollers offers an intriguing portrait of an insular community, but its recounting of the seduction of a bright young man by the surrounding culture is heavy-handed.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Inspired by an actual late-1990s case in which young Orthodox Brooklynites served as mules for an international drug ring, Holy Rollers has a great dramatic premise and no idea where to take it.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
How could such a high concept sink so low?
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
It's sadder and scarier than its predecessors, but it also may be the most important chapter in the tale.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
I think [Eisenberg is] a much more astute and detailed actor then some people give him credit for.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
Eisenberg showed this character's dilemma in, I thought, a really smart way.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
It feels like too many character corners were cut, removing the depth that would make the proceedings believable, and leaving only the clich.
Chicago Reader
Cliff Doerksen
This lackluster indie proves that the flattening power of cliche can trump even the most exotic social setting.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Holy Rollers never quite catches fire ... still, it's an often evocative dip into unique territory fleshed out by a highly convincing cast.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Holy Rollers feels staged and exoticized in the way stories about insular communities often do when told by outsiders.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The film is said to have been inspired by a true story, but the inspiration was insufficient, even though Mr. Asch has a strong sense of place and displays a confident touch with some of the action sequences.
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
It treats its characters as individuals and not as strange folk who are willfully lost in time.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Mr. Eisenberg and particularly Mr. Bartha give appropriately twitchy, live-wire performances, and the film tells its basically bleak story lucidly and with touches of dark humor.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Eisenberg is such a solid, serious young actor that the film plays as social problem drama.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Eisenberg never makes Sam's seduction entirely convincing, and Asch goes so far out of his way to avoid sensationalizing the material that Holy Rollers is a bit of a snooze.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie relates to its story as Sam relates to women: Look, talk, but don't get too close.
