Critic Reviews for Love Free or Die: How the Bishop of New Hampshire Is Changing the World

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (3)

This diffuse documentary lacks the urgency and reach of its staunch title.

Gary Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
Macky Alston's raggedly structured docu duly honors his subject's conviction and courage, but largely sidesteps conflict and skirts the issues in an unrevealing talking-heads format.

Justin Chang
Variety
A thoughtful reflection on the divisiveness of homosexuality in organized religion, focusing on the quiet crusade of openly gay bishop Gene Robinson.

David Rooney
Hollywood Reporter
There's nothing innately wrong with Alston's documentary, other than that it seems to lack a cohesive focus.

Equally inspiring and infuriating.

Fr. Chris Carpenter
Movie Dearest
A moving chronicle of the slow but steady changes put into motion by the first openly gay Episcopal bishop in America.

It not only forces us to examine our opinions, but it moves us to tears.
