Sympathy for Delicious Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Mark Ruffalo is one of the best actors of his generation, and I'd like to be able to say that, with his directorial debut, Sympathy for Delicious, he's one of its best filmmakers, too. Alas, this semiexpressionist fantasia is a botch.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Despite the powerful sense of place, "Sympathy for Delicious" unwinds a narrative thread that grows increasingly tattered and flimsy.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Mark Ruffalo only gave himself a small part in his directorial debut, but his absence behind the camera is more keenly felt.
Observer
Rex Reed
Sympathy for Delicious is populated by so many good people who ought to be better that it's hard to ignore. But sympathy, for Delicious or anyone else, eludes me totally.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
You can't make this stuff up. Or maybe you can, but you shouldn't.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
As it builds, kind of epically, to a thoughtful conclusion, "Sympathy" appreciates the places we find after defeating our demons.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
These characters may serve an obscure metaphorical agenda, but they make no psychological sense. And as the movie contemplates the rewards and perils of giving and receiving, it winds itself into stomach-turning knots.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Interesting but never compelling...
IFC.com
Matt Singer
Good intentions and poor execution.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
On odd mishmash that leads to some headscratchingly bizarre moments, while ultimately skirting incoherence of purpose.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
An urban parable in the underlit indie tradition, Sympathy for Delicious treats sketchy, moribund storytelling as divine inspiration.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This offbeat effort proves more admirable for its ambition than anything else, as the uneasy mix of satire, allegory, grittiness and redemption never quite jells.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Directing debut for Mark Ruffalo presents supernatural premise in an unexpectedly unironic way.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
Heavily flawed, but better than a lot of the critics are claiming.
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
Sympathy For Delicious doesn't just go from bad to worse with each passing scene but dives wheelchair first into downright laughable waters during its final ten minutes.
Ebert Presents At The Movies
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Once we get to the trial that kind of dominates the later part of the movie, I think it comes back and it refocuses on this dynamic between Thornton and Ruffalo who are incedently really good together.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Messy, far-fetched rock drama with religious vibes, about a former DJ on L.A.'s skid row who emerges a healer, will go straight to the cut-out bin.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
The spiritual journey of a disabled turntable dj with a gift of healing from Skid Row to megabuck success as a member of a heavy metal band.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Scattered drama about faith and poverty is intense.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
One cannot help but be moved by Sympathy for Delicious and walk away with a personal sense of grace, no matter how small, along with the desire to be better.
