"
Jesus Camp
will present 1,000 questions on faith, trust, and humanity that are not easily answered; it's a film impossible to ignore."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"Cut to the flickering images of children writhing in a spiritual trance on a chapel floor while being hectored about the glory of dying for Christ, and one knows exactly where the first Christian suicide bombers will come from."
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
B+
"Unfair and riveting and alarming and highly watchable -- but outrageously unfair."

Eric D. Snider

One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek

Los Angeles Alternative

[is] one of the most frightening films of 2006."
Pretentious Musings
Kevin Koehler
A
"Ewing and Grady have accomplished something of a miracle with
Jesus Camp
...at once explosive and unbiased."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"
Camp
is not a diatribe or a polemic... all it does is turn a camera on people who are proud enough of their actions and beliefs to talk candidly and openly about them for the camera."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/4
"A piercing portrait of innocence perverted."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
3/5
"Effective documentary, if somewhat repetitious."
EDGE Boston
Phil Hall
B
"The film's strengths emerge in its willingness to listen (if not agree), and to give Pastor Fisher and her flock plenty of rope to hang themselves with."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
2.5/4
"
Camp,
pardon the pun, is preaching to the converted, and it isn't strong enough to sway anyone sitting on the fence."
Charlotte Weekly
Sean O'Connell
3.5/4
"Riveting, profoundly unsettling yet remarkably even-handed."
