This Is Martin Bonner Ratings & Reviews
Way Too Indie
C.J. Prince
Director Chad Hartigan's hopeful approach to the material, combined with the terrific cast and cinematography, come together to make this one of 2013's quiet triumphs.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
This Is Martin Bonner takes a magnifying glass to everyday goodness and lingering pain, illuminating their contours and complexities but pulling away before the movie can ever burst into sentimental flame.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This contemplative drama draws strength from day-to-day ordinariness and a terrific lead performance from Paul Eenhoorn, yet sadly falls short.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Mr. Eenhoorn (whose patient expressions here suggest a kindly priest) gives his character the shy charm of palpable decency.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
By calling on his leads to underplay nearly every moment, Hartigan calls into question our deeply ingrained instinct, as moviegoers, to witness a steady parade of amped-up emotions.
The Dissolve
Andrew Lapin
Somewhere far beyond the hoary parables of most faith-based films and the brutal body-blows of prison flicks soars This Is Martin Bonner, an understated drama with small words and big ideas.
Slant Magazine
Jordan Cronk
At its best, with its quiet, ominous pace in the early going and its economical distribution of information throughout, the film is reminiscent of Todd Haynes's Safe.
ArtVoice
M. Faust
The detail is precise, as are the performances. These may not be people you would care to see a film about, but seeing it I can't imagine that you wouldn't be moved to care about them.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Rigorously subdued in performance and tone, this low-key character portrait is distinguished by its empathetic honesty.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
This Is Martin Bonner explores what it means to be a good person at a crossroads, and whom you might find there.
HitFix
Guy Lodge
The rare contemporary film about Christian behavior that doesn't go out of its way to announce its secularity, it's equally unpatronizing in its sharp articulation of loneliness in middle age and beyond.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Written and directed by Chad Hartigan, this touching, uncommonly humane drama centers on the tenuous friendship between two lonely older men.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The writer and director, Chad Hartigan, transforms the potentially maudlin premise into a luminous reach for grace.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This bittersweet drama is a sharply observed tale of middle-aged reconciliation and redemption that's both sad and charming.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Nothing happens in This Is Martin Bonner, and that's the best thing about it.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
This Is Martin Bonner is undoubtedly a small film but it is finely crafted and holds a big heart.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
In most movies, Martin Bonner would be a memorable minor character, the sort where you'd idly wonder "What's that guy's story?" Chad Hartigan's second feature gives Martin that movie, and the results are quietly astonishing.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's a very low-key, slowly paced piece that has a cumulative power through its honesty and realism.
We Got This Covered
Alexander Lowe
This Is Martin Bonner may be about absence, but there's no absence of heart in the story or the characters, which makes for an extremely enjoyable film.
Variety
John Anderson
A mood piece, a character study and an exercise in poetic gesture possessed of a sort of evanescent, secular spirituality.
