The Overnighters Reviews
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
"The Overnighters" is commendable for many reasons, not the least of which is the way it allows complex issues to remain complex. There is a clear conflict between the pastor and the town, but there's no good vs. evil.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
While initially a gentle interrogation of Christian dogma, The Overnighters expands to a larger investigation of altruism and its roots in private psychologies.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A classic example of a documentary that discovers its subject in the process of its making.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It develops into a study of obsession, hypocrisy, righteousness and self-doubt, questioning motive and then gob-smacking the audience with the wholly unexpected.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
So much of "The Overnighters" tells all sorts of truths, and Moss earned the trust of his subjects, whatever they might think of the result.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Through patience, skill, discretion, and trust, Jesse Moss has taken a seemingly small town story and turned it into both a microcosm of today's most urgent issues and a portrait of a single suffering soul.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
An existentially probing documentary with more layers than a twisty Hollywood thriller, at turns inspiring, challenging, sobering and finally devastating.
Film Threat
Brian Tallerico
Moss lets his characters and their stories unfold, crafting a film from them intuitively through the right interview questions and the art of editing, but never placing a narrative on it that feels forced.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Moss uses images of drill towers or blistering flame as visual metaphors for other things transpiring on screen: the fracturing of a family, the heated fury that comes with a sense of betrayal.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The movie might seem like just another liberal do-gooder profile, yet a shocker ending throws new and disturbing light on the situation, amplifying the Christian themes at the heart of the story.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
It's the rare documentary in which truly unpredictable events unfold and no assumption is safe.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A social-justice documentary that packs a visceral emotional wallop to the heart and mind, The Overnighters could scarcely be more relevant to our stressy, fearful present.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Moss was basically a one-man production crew, which explains how he was able to film such intimate, painful conversations. His work is haunting - one of the best documentaries of the year.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Moss uncovers something greater than a vision of a divided community; he's made a drama as prickly and surprising as any fictional character study.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
While "The Overnighters" has the feel of an epic, given what an expansive slice of America's current economic experience it ponders, it's also a very intimate one.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Composed of multiple layers - more than one of which might bring tears to your eyes - this shape-shifting documentary begins as one thing and ends as quite another.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
The Overnighters sounds like the sort of dry news blurb you'd skim over in the Sunday paper, but it unfolds into an epic tragedy.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
The thrill of The Overnighters is in witnessing a heartrending payoff that could not be anticipated nor written-and, miraculously, closes the movie on a perfect irony.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Filmmaker Jesse Moss frames his shots beautifully; the landscapes look like Andrew Wyeth paintings.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
If John Steinbeck were writing in the second decade of the 21st century, "The Overnighters" is precisely the story he'd want to tell.
