Critic Reviews for Recovery Boys

Sheldon paints a stark picture of the harsh reality of recovery in her sensitive, and life-affirming documentary

Katie Walsh
Los Angeles Times
The final outcome may be mixed, but viewers will concur with a sobbing Ryan that "helping people who everyone else in society looks down on - it's amazing."

June 28, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Suzi Feay
Financial Times
A moving yet cautionary tale and a painful reminder that recovery is a journey that never really ends.

Jeannette Catsoulis
New York Times
The film is beautifully made: moving without being manipulative, informative without being didactic, subtly observational in the manner of great documentary filmmaking.

Brett McCracken
The Gospel Coalition
The heartbreaking documentary will resonate with the mass audience it deserves.

August 19, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Brigid Presecky
FF2 Media
Nonetheless, the humanitarian eye of Sheldon, alongside Jacob's Ladder, implores audiences to adopt a posture of compassion and understanding, because the struggle an addict faces is a deepening one.

Kyle Kohner
The Playlist
It's a powerful indictment: not only of hostility toward drug users, but also of toxic masculine molds that command men against seeking help, relief, and love.

Natalia Winkelman
The Daily Beast
Intense, honest, and inspiring docu about opioid addiction.

July 10, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Renee Schonfeld
Common Sense Media
Accomplished without exaggeration and putting additional faces onto oft-stereotyped members of America, making them multi-faceted men and bursting through backwoods hillbilly convention. The immediate social impression of Recovery Boys is tremendous.

Kahron Spearman
The Daily Dot
It can be devastating at times, but you won't feel like it was time ill spent.

Forget our society's current obsession with superheroes: this is the conflict of which powerful drama is made.
