Jesus Camp Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
No matter your religious or political affiliation (or lack thereof), this supremely even-handed documentary from Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady is cinematic dynamite.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Perhaps indoctrination is in the eye of the beholder. But one thing is certain: All Christians aren't the same. I'm one, and I found this film to be saddening, not heartening.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I spent a lot of years studying the teachings of Jesus in Catholic grammar school, and I think Jesus would be appalled by what goes on in the these camps.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Jesus Camp doesn't trivialize or exploit its child subjects nor their spirituality; for the most part, the film maintains a patient, unobtrusive outlook from the D.A. Pennebaker school.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Jesus Camp seems to me most interesting (and poignant) as a portrait of denied and even desecrated childhood.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
On one level, the documentary Jesus Camp is all about evangelical Christians keeping up with the terrorists.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Jesus Camp does what documentaries ought to do: It poses serious questions, then steps out of the argument.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
One of those documentaries so well crafted you should wonder what was left on the cutting-room floor.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
It might be too much to ask for a little more diversity in the movie's subjects. Aren't there any boring, conventionally innocent kids marching in God's army?
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Phil Kloer
You don't have to be extreme or liberal to be shaken by Jesus Camp.
Entertainment Weekly
Scott Brown
As a documentary, Jesus Camp could lose its haunted-house score and contrapuntal Air America refrains and still deliver its message...
San Francisco Chronicle
Neva Chonin
It stares into the face of faith run amok, and for those willing to follow its gaze, it provides sad revelations.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady lump all evangelicals together, failing to distinguish the more fundamentalist Pentecostals, and they've clumsily inserted some unnecessary editorializing from talk-radio host Mike Papantonio.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
No, belief I cannot quibble with. What I can complain about is outright stupidity.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Whether you are a religious, churchgoing person or not, if you are the least bit liberal or tolerant in your world view, this has got to be one of the most unnerving films of the year.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Often funny (just listen to Becky fulminate against Harry Potter), but it's also a scary, sobering inside look at the attempts of an increasingly powerful group to erode the separation of church and state.
Chicago Tribune
Jessica Reaves
What Ewing and Grady have accomplished here is remarkable -- capturing the visceral humanity, desire and unflagging political will of a religious movement.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Though it would have benefited from a more detached approach, this is a vital look at a subculture that remains foreign to many New Yorkers -- despite its growing influence over all our lives.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
[Ewing and Grady] take the techniques of the Jesus campers too close to heart: Admit no doubt and keep preaching until they've got the point.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This riveting documentary explores Kids on Fire, a summer camp in Devils Lake, N.D., that grooms children to be soldiers in 'God's army'.
