Ash Wednesday Ratings & Reviews
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
With more swagger than Saint Pat on Snake Day, Edward Burns struts around 1983 Hell's Kitchen in search of a Sopranos audition.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...unlike [Scorsese's Mean Streets], Ash Wednesday is essentially devoid of interesting characters or even a halfway intriguing plot.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Ash Wednesday is not Edward Burns' best film, but it is a good and ambitious film. And it marks him as one of the most interesting writer/directors working today.
Entertainment Today
Brent Simon
Burns' fifth beer-soaked film feels in almost every possible way -- from the writing and direction to the soggy performances -- tossed off.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An ambitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting.
E! Online
We don't see much box-office green in this film's future.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
This may be Burns's strongest film since The Brothers McMullen.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
This time Mr. Burns is trying something in the Martin Scorsese street-realist mode, but his self-regarding sentimentality trips him up again.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
For all its brooding quality, Ash Wednesday is suspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast.
L.A. Weekly
Mark Olsen
There ought to be a directing license, so that Ed Burns can have his revoked.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Despite the authenticity of the trappings, the film is overblown in its plotting, hackneyed in its dialogue and anachronistic in its style.
