"...[Mellencamp's] vibrantly funny and touching film plays as an extension of his music without his singing a note..." Rolling Stone "...FALLING FROM GRACE has a folksy, collaborative feeling that works well....Mellencamp's direction, like his performance in the central role, reflects an affecting earnestness..." New York Times "...A movie of heart, subtlety, and dramatic zest..." Entertainment Weekly "...There's a sharp, novelistic sense of observation in the way the characters bounce off each other's time-worn hostilities. The dialogue has an emotional subtext -- an undertow of feeling..." Los Angeles Times "...Mellencamp turns out to have a real filmmaking gift. His film is perceptive and subtle....The characters created here with McMurtry are three-dimensional and fully realized..." Chicago Sun-Times0.2050664
