Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: C’è ben poco da ridere in questa black comedy di Richard Linklater, nella quale il regista texano, prende le mosse da una storia vera, per raccontare, con la tecnica del mockumentary la storia di un solerte addetto alle pompe funebri di Carthage, accusato di un odioso delitto.

- Excerpt: Black rings absolutely true, funnily darkish and awkwardly lovable. This is the kind of acting that should not go unnoticed, distinguished Academy members.

- Excerpt: Such a simple little movie…but also sad and strange, and ironic and discomfiting.

- Carson Lund @ Are the Hills Going to March Off?
- Excerpt: Bernie gauges the reactions of a small Carthage, Texas community to an increasingly bizarre series of events surrounding the saint-turned-murderer at the heart of the film, and it does so with the light, relaxed tone of an airline tourist video, effortlessly translating shocking true-life circumstances into the stuff of detached belly laughs.

- Excerpt: A fascinating portrait of both the actual events in the case – Tiede’s bizarre mother-son relationship with Nugent, and the dynamic that led to her murder – and of the small-town insider’s view that led to Bernie’s martyrdom.
