Johnny Mad Dog Reviews
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Basically, talented French director Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire has too much style on his hands. His film isn't as amorally grandiose as City of God. Nor does it achieve the hulking tragedy of Gomorrah.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Johnny Mad Dog is an assaultive fiction about Liberian child soldiers.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The movie is harrowing and hard to forget. But just when you think there's no hope, Sauvaire throws in a tearful moment of redemption.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
Director Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire's deftly stylized camerawork reminds us at key intervals that what we're seeing is artifice, dramatization.
BET.com
Clay Cane
Educational, truthful and important.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
breathless, ferocious, and deeply unsettling
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Sauvaire, hesitating between a protest picture and a glam-squalid imagist orgy, only succeeds in scattering human rubble across the screen.
Variety
Justin Chang
A fearsome plunge into the world of child soldiers in present-day West Africa.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
...it's difficult to recommend Johnny Mad Dog, despite-and in some ways because of-the fact it is very good.
