Brave New Jersey Ratings & Reviews
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The period piece sets, costumes, vehicles, props, and other practical visuals are excellently handled.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
In a place where it doesn't seem like there isn't much to be excited about at first, Lambert proves otherwise by showing how the secrets we keep can make us just as unknown to one another as the aliens from above.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
Brave New Jersey is consistently close to maximizing its premise but never coming through.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Brave New Jersey is an absurd comedy about the reaction to the War of the Worlds radio broadcast.
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Brave New Jersey isn't bad, but it is extremely predictable.
Variety
Joe Leydon
[An] uneven but ultimately winning comedy ...
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
This is a fun, fluffy bonbon of a film.
Film Journal International
Harry Haun
Disappointingly tepid take on the panic provoked by Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds' radio broadcast.
Film Inquiry
Chloe Walker
Lambert doesn't shy away from adding layers of pathos, but Brave New Jersey is essentially an uplifting romp, led by a lovely, delicate performance from Tony Hale.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
A real charmer of a film, Brave New Jersey will appeal to viewers of all ages and backgrounds.
New York Times
Monica Castillo
The film's narrative simplicity can be charming or frustrating, depending on your feelings about awkward dialogue and overreacting actors.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The film wastes several talented performers with its low-key, rambling humor and one-dimensional characters.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
There are a lot of funny people in "Brave New Jersey," but the movie is not very funny.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
The plot certainly establishes expectations that aren't met, going mellow on pandemonium and big with formulaic relationship woes.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
'Brave New Jersey' is so much fun. You'll chuckle lots before it's done. It's based on facts about a prank that we have Orson Welles to thank.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
Lambert aims for gentle, Lake Wobegon-ish nostalgia, but the jokes never land, the undifferentiated small town confers no sense of location, and its eccentrics aren't particularly weird.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A clever dramedy about a small community that surges on a sea of troubles during Orson Welles' broadcast about an alien invasion.
The Film Stage
John Fink
Brave New Jersey is an elegant work of Americana with a gentle charm that's hard not to be won over by.
