Dangerous Lives Of Altar Boys Page 2 “Francis Doyle (Emile Hirsch, who could easily pass for a younger version of Road Rules' Theo)”, --John Popick, Planet Sick-Boy (I thought I was the only one to notice this!--ed) "“As Francis, whom Sister Assumpta rather harshly and correctly labels a "follower," newcomer Emile Hirsch delivers a solid performance, especially for it being his first major role.”—Dustin Putman, The Movie Boy "“There's true tenderness in the scenes between Hirsch and Jena Malone, who plays Margie as a young woman unable to completely conceal the anguish inside her; when Francis and Margie steal away to her room to listen to albums and talk, the moment evokes all the mysteries and uncertainties of those first unchaperoned experiences with the opposite sex.”—James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette Culkin is first-billed, but though he's fine--smoothly suggesting Tim's craftiness and manipulation--he plays a distinct second fiddle to Hirsch, who's really the central figure and is remarkably good: this is his first film, but if his performance here is any indication, he could have a solid career ahead of him.”—Frank Sweitek, One Guy’s Opinion “Culkin has the showier part, but Hirsch makes a stronger impression. He conveys apprehension, longing and sadness with one look. His scenes with Malone will bring back conflicted memories of adolescence for all of us.”—Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer “Emile Hirsch is a name you may not be familiar with, but if his turn here is any indication of his skill – you can expect to hear his name again soon.”—Scott Weinberg, DVD Clinic “First time feature film actor Hirsch (looking like an affable cross between a younger Ashton Kutcher and Jack Black), gives a tremendously realistic and poignant performance.”-Staci Layne Wilson, Fantastica Daily “Hirsch and Culkin are compelling, with a script by first-timer Jeff Stockwell, who has a clever ear for dialogue. During the most emotionally intense moments, more will be said with body language (without any flailing of arms) than open accusation.”—Rachel Gordon, Culturedose.com “Hirsch does a wonderful job of conveying his character's inner struggle, especially his discomfort when entrusted with an explosive confidence whose ramifications are more than he can absorb.”—Stephen Holden, New York Times Dangerous Lives Page 1 The Emperor's Club The Mudge Boy The Girl Next Door Page 1 The Girl Next Door Page 2 The Girl Next Door Page 3 |
