All the boys have big dreams - starting with the hope of attending high school - but what they want most is contact with their families.

Critic Reviews
-
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Very little of it adds up to a movie.
-
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Sons of Perdition" is a captivating testament, but the silence of the daughters is the real revelation.
-
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
What's here is compelling, if occasionally hard to follow.
-
Gerald Peary, Boston Phoenix
Their valiant attempt to find themselves is stirring, and sometimes depressing, as they backslide into alcohol and drugs.
-
Sarah Boslaugh, Playback:stl
The FLDS exiles featured in Sons of Perdition fare better than you might expect and a "where are they now" coda provides more encouraging news.
