A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints

For me this movie was a big let down. They have a loaded cast of great actors and the footage is gritty but the plot misses the mark.

What a great movie, made me feel so nostalgic

gtitty real powerful coming of age tale in working class Queens. Moving but never sappy Tale about the need to leave your past behind but never forgetting Outstanding performances by all especialy Channing Tatum and Diabe Wiest.

Powerful movie featuring dysfunctional relationships in New York. A great film getting to the core of what people are.

Despite some great performances and heartfelt moments, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" doesn't quite seem to know what it wants to be, with inconsistent pacing and questionable themes, making it seem more confusing than rewarding in the end. Could've been much better, however, the movie just doesn't leave much of an impact on the audience as it definitely should have.

THERE IS NO MESSAGE this is not church we don't need messages its real life with all the warts and flaws its teenagers being teenagers

Presumably autobiographical (though fictionalized), this disjointed and ultimately boring film tells its story like a long form confession, but never offers the reflection, depth or insight to justify the indulgence.

Overall, a pointless film.

Meh. An oddly told / presented story. Mildly entertaining.

Ahh, poetic musings of the degenerate lifestyle to make degenerates think their lives are poetic and amusing. When you've seen one tale of beleaguered inner city youths(often from New York) with one overcoming the odds and making good, you've seen them all. Yawn.
