- Excerpt: may be unlike anything you’ve experienced, as if the helicopter sequence in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” were extended to feature film length… Be prepared to strap yourself onto a cinematic rocket.

- Excerpt: A brilliantly multifaceted experience…although the unrelenting mood does get exhausting.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com

- Josh Taylor @ www.forgetfulfilmcritic.com
- Excerpt: Adam Sandler, in a role he was born to play, gives Howard – and the movie – an unseemly, queasy propulsiveness. He’s aided in this by the Safdie brothers’ singular directing style and their breakneck-paced screenplay – which they wrote with long-time collaborator Ronald Bronstein.
