CRITICS REVIEWS

“
Village VoiceNick Schager
“So little occurs, and so little seems to be at stake, that the action takes on the quality of a tossed-off, not-especially-melodic country-music ditty.”

“
The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
“Straining for a quiet poeticism and, to its credit, occasionally achieving it thanks to the beautifully photographed scenic environs, Pilgrim Song fails to involve us in its central character’s introspection.”
