Select reviews

  • "Shocking, creepy, and—at times—just plain strange, Our Father is a documentary that proves sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. — Collider [10]
  • "At its core, 'Our Father' is a lesson for any future true-crime documentaries—that such stories are strongest when their victims are front and center. While the execution muddies the film's message, the power of its subjects shines through the clouds." — Duke Chronicle [11]
  • "Director Lucie Jourdan’s 'Our Father,' a frustrating, tawdry documentary, rips a headline for trashy dramatic beats. — RogerEbert.com [12]
