Offering the viewer hardly any reason to feel this story is credible.July 10, 2011
It's a surprisingly cool little film, not funny at all but rather seriously torn between the secular and the sacred, a conflict Eisenberg expresses with a neurotic intensity.June 17, 2010
The film is slight, but Eisenberg is a deadpan delight.July 08, 2011
We expect more than we eventually get, even if what we get is watchable throughout.August 28, 2013
The one and only problem I had with HOLY ROLLERS was the pacing. I found myself getting slightly bored and at times, looking at my watch. I'm sure it's not easy to mesh Orthodox Judaism and Ecstasy, but Asch did a pretty good job.July 08, 2011
It's a familiar premise and Holy Rollers sprinkles precisely nothing new into the roll-up.June 25, 2010
It's not a terrible movie, but all the way through you feel as if you've already seen it.July 10, 2011
Despite a suitably nervy turn from Eisenberg, there's no energy to the film-making or much insight into the story.June 17, 2010
As a thriller, it's bubkes.June 18, 2010
It's sadder and scarier than its predecessors, but it also may be the most important chapter in the tale.July 06, 2011
This is moviemaking on autopilot.June 18, 2010
The scenes of family conflict are sketchily dramatized. We never get to the place where the two parts of Sam's personality meet -- the devoted son and sharp-dealing criminal.
