Movie Info
Sons of Perdition follows three boys after they leave Colorado City. With limited educations and rarely a stable address, the obstacles are enormous. All the boys have big dreams - starting with the hope of attending high school - but what they want most is contact with their families. For one teen in the film, this means numerous attempts to help his fourteen-year-old sister escape before an arranged marriage.

Very little of it adds up to a movie.
Top CriticWhat's here is compelling, if occasionally hard to follow.
Their valiant attempt to find themselves is stirring, and sometimes depressing, as they backslide into alcohol and drugs.
"Sons of Perdition" is a captivating testament, but the silence of the daughters is the real revelation.
The FLDS exiles featured in Sons of Perdition fare better than you might expect and a "where are they now" coda provides more encouraging news.
Less a definitive historical account of American polygamy than a study of a very particular strain of post-traumatic stress disorder.
