Critic Reviews
-
Rob Nelson, Variety
The narratively jumbled film ... features too many scenes that amount to mere stargazing.
-
Adam Lowes, HeyUGuys
The film is perhaps a little too long, but aside from the saccharine which occasionally lurks beneath this is an otherwise engaging and thoughtful study into a hereditary illness.
-
Ian Thompson, Daily Telegraph
Using home movies and other footage, Kopple provides a discomfiting portrait of a family's deep-seated dysfunction.
-
Shaun Munro, What Culture
Though undeniably well-intentioned, Barbara Kopple's documentary doesn't seem particularly concerned with asking - or trying to answer - the big questions surrounding familial suicide trends.
-
Andrew Schenker, Slant Magazine
Whereas American Dream ended with a moment of genuine devastation, Running from Crazy offers little more than surface-level tear-wringing.
