VarietyJoe LeydonAug 22, 2013
Despite an effective Jim Caviezel, this anecdotal drama never rises above the level of lightly likable. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreAug 19, 2013
Savannah gets by on touches of grace and spirited performances, especially by Caviezel. After being so serious for so very long, it’s great fun to see him take on a “genuine character” with all the boozing, brawling and shooting that entails. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAug 22, 2013
The film’s tale ends up being less rich than its lovely Georgia settings. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAug 21, 2013
Annette Haywood-Carter’s slow-paced film features a plethora of colorful characters and incidents that register with little dramatic impact. Read full review

New York PostFarran Smith NehmeAug 22, 2013

The DissolveAndrew LapinAug 22, 2013
A dull vanity project for the Southern highborn. Read full review

Time OutAndrew FrisicanoAug 20, 2013
The movie’s story is limp, its romances are flightless and — despite the talented cast — its performances are toothless. Read full review

Slant MagazineTina HassanniaAug 14, 2013
The film is impossible to take seriously as a commemoration of Moultrie's life or Allen's prolific status because of its plethora of contrivances. Read full review

Village VoiceNick SchagerAug 20, 2013
The story overflows with reverence but is drastically short on passion or suspense. Read full review
