(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   5/5 "Only Kerrigan's previous Clean, Shaven surpasses Keane as a sympathetic study of a man unravelled."   musicOMH.com   Anton Bitel 3.5/4 "A wondrous film."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 3.5/4 "[Damian Lewis] is an absolute revelation as the title character and he delivers a daring and completely riveting performance."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "Just another in a long line of films that tries and fails to examine the issue, taking the easy road by remaining detached from its own proceedings."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens 3/5 "An unsettling psychodrama that opens our hearts to a mentally and emotionally troubled man."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/5 "takes a long, grueling ride around the block and never really manages to illuminate the human condition"   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp 2.5/4 "[Keane] is unfortunately akin to a rat-in-the-maze science experiment."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich '3/5' "A subtle morality tale, enlivened by intense moments"   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner B+ "Kerrigan maintains that balance on the thin line between sanity and madness throughout his little miracle of a film by never wavering from Keane's wavering perspective"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "The horribly overused device of the handheld camera makes Keane not simply grating and heavy-handed, but also nauseating."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Leo Goldsmith 4/10 " The film is much more realistic than entertaining."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper B+ "The daring filmgoer will see the film’s merits and, I hope, embrace it."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B+ "Affliction has rarely been so sensitively explored."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3/4 "An emotionally harrowing film that's probably too downbeat for general audiences. But for the more adventurous viewer seeking provocative fare, Kerrigan's third film confirms that he's a filmmaker of acute sensitivity and psychological nuance."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 4/4 "It's in that breathtaking humanism, its illustration of the way we connect to one another, and how brittle that social fabric can be, that the film touches on sublimity."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
