Jack of the Red Hearts Ratings & Reviews
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Unfettered truth that shines with authenticity and sensitivity, Jack of the Red Hearts is glorious.
Movies with Mae
Mae Abdulbaki
The film focuses less on the topic of autism and more on the story of Jack's redemption, which can be very inspiring when it tries to be, but lacks a certain spark behind the core message it hopes to send across.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
Jack of the Red Hearts depicts a bond between a troubled teenager and a young autistic girl ... The goodwill for its titular character never feels earned.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Youth in social and economic crisis today converges with autism, and struggling to come of age in this troubled world. Based on the challenges of the director raising her own autistic child, and raw and real mixed with plenty of tough love empathy too.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Good acting in thought-provoking but predictable drama.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
There's a poignant, powerful story lurking at the edges of "Jack of the Red Hearts" but, as is, the film proves a strained, implausible family drama.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Jack of the Red Hearts" is the movie equivalent of what used to be called a "problem play." As such, it is well done.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
Showcases the talented young actress Taylor Richardson but never develops beyond placid afterschool-special territory.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Grillo is one of the few filmmakers out there who possesses an understanding of autism and the drain of personal care, and she once again uses this knowledge to deepen material, giving it a perspective few productions dare to offer.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
From the opening scene [Robb] takes over the screen with a coltish toughness and mercurial charisma.
Chicago Daily Herald
Dann Gire
A few POV shots provide us with insight and empathy. Too many of them simply devalue the POV impact and tend to give Jack of the Red Hearts the texture of an ABC Afterschool Special.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
It's rare that a drama shows such specificity with respect to the experience of coping with autism, and that sensitivity goes a long way.
