Critic Reviews of "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints"
Chicago ReaderFebruary 27, 2008Given all the filmed memory pieces about screaming, violent Italian-American families in New York boroughs, I'm not especially thrilled by even a well-made example.
Time OutFebruary 28, 2007The plot itself might not break much new ground, but the telling, by both cast and crew, makes this a memoir to remember.
Toronto StarNovember 17, 2006It takes a while to recognize these saints, but the effort is worth it.
Globe and MailNovember 17, 2006The movie never answers the question of why, exactly, the audience should care about these characters.
Denver PostOctober 27, 2006Though A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is not a great movie, I prefer its street-grit version of adolescent desperation to the arch, mannered tone of Running With Scissors.
Arizona RepublicOctober 26, 2006Like an O'Neill play, its virtues are not in well-constructed ideas but in the emotional catharses it wrings out of its audience.
Empire Magazine AustralasiaNovember 07, 2012Montiel's honey coated Queens of the mid-'80s is rich with the violence and carnality of teenagers, and the performances of LaBeouf (as the young Dito) and Channing Tatum (as his Stanley Kowalski-like grunt friend, Antonio) are raw pleasures.
ColeSmithey.comApril 24, 2009Dito Montiel adapts his autobiographical 2001 novel into a vivid slice-of-life drama from the Jim Carroll school of disaffected coming-of-age New York journalism.
BrandonFibbs.comFebruary 28, 2008It is its very autobiographical roots that make Saints an emotional wallop, a raw, authentic work that is, at its defiant core, violently and unrestrainedly alive.
Film4February 27, 2008Superb performances and a gripping retrospective plotline make this tough cookie an entertaining one, even if its adult story strand is weighed down with vagaries.
Film Freak CentralSeptember 06, 2007I love the scenes with young people in the middle of a hot New York summer, talking to one another like panthers circling.
BBC.comJuly 31, 2007It positively crackles with energy, featuring startlingly raw performances from a cast that also includes Shia LaBeouf as the young Dito. And if it looks ragged around the edges, that's as it should be.
