While not a particularly deep look at the man and his career, this documentary still serves as a nicely done introduction to Kushner.

This is an exceedingly friendly portrait, a disarming one, too. The filmmaker invites us to reconsider the author as someone warmer and less intimidating than his body of work. On that count, Wrestling With Angels succeeds. Feb 2, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The final portrait is unquestionably entertaining, very occasionally teasing and largely adoring. Because Kushner is a devoted political commentator, his thoughts on everything from America's role in the world to the nature of Zionism are on full display. Jan 12, 2007 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Wrestling With Angels is a canny piece of filmmaking, sure to absorb both audiences familiar with Kushner's plays and those who know little or nothing about him. Dec 1, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A sentimental valentine to a man who, underneath it all, simply wants to move people with his message. Nov 10, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This uncritical cinematic embrace doesn't do justice to a playwright who never met a Brechtian dialectic he didn't want to ponder more deeply. Nov 2, 2006 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Beyond it's educational value for those unfamiliar with Kushner's work, politics, and sexuality (like myself), there's not much to grab onto here. Sep 19, 2009 | Rating: 42/100 | Full Review…

[Director Freida Lee] Mock's approach to Kushner is so casual and friendly that it never steps outside of his own life for a glimpse of its context. Dec 30, 2006 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Flaws aside, Wrestling With Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner is still worth a look for its glimpse at one of the leading voices of 21st century American drama. Nov 3, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4

While Wrestling With Angels is definitely a worthwhile experience, you'd expect it to be a more dramatic one, considering what Kushner has produced. Nov 3, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4
