one more painful reminder of what New York lost that day

Tears and emotions flow freely through the film, which successfully captures a little of the original horror and raw, unpoliticized emotion of that beautiful late summer day.

Top CriticThis impressively mounted, feature-length eulogy for the courageous Franciscan friar who devoted his life to bringing peace, solace and reconciliation to all in need makes a compelling argument for canonization.
09/08/06
Saint of 9/11, an unabashed tribute to Judge's life, struggles and Christian mission, does a good job of communicating what made Judge an inspiring figure to many, while making his life's work accessible and understandable.

Top CriticIf you think you can't bear to see another World Trade Center movie, you should still see the new documentary, Saint of 9/11.

Top Critic... a cinematic elegy for Father Mychal Judge ...

Top CriticOverly reverent but still immensely touching ...

Top Critic... a muddled enterprise.

You come away from this movie with a bracing recognition that grace and perfection don't always share the same corners of the soul -- which doesn't and shouldn't prevent you from doing good works for others.

Top CriticIf a documentary makes you wish you had known its subject, it has definitely done something right.
09/07/06
This is a loving and handsomely produced biography of Judge, a Franciscan priest of seemingly limitless wisdom, charisma, good humor and charity.

Top CriticSaint of 9/11 is more of a testimonial than a documentary, but it weaves together a portrait of a remarkable Irish-American friar, who was gay and a recovering alcoholic, and the many lives he inspired.
09/07/06
Certainly, this documentary honors Judge’s memory, but one wishes for something greater.
09/07/06
Top CriticHearing so many people speak lovingly of Father Mychal Judge helps overcome the wobbly nature of this well-intended but flawed tribute.
09/06/06
An extraordinary documentary about Father Mychal Judge who followed his natural caring impulse into a life of compassionate service of others.
09/06/06
Saint of 9/11 is a touching elegy for the Rev. Mychal Judge, the much-loved New York City Fire Department chaplain who died at the World Trade Center.
09/05/06
Top CriticFilmmaker Glenn Holsten sells it to the cheap seats anyway, fleshing out Judge's alcoholic struggles and his redoubtable activist work with mega-dramatic gimmickry and sentimental hosannas.
09/05/06
Top CriticThe film only scrapes the surface of Mychal Judge's personal life, but it does grapple with the way his personal identity shaped his righteousness.
