Child of God

...kommer att dela folk mellan de som bara äcklas, och de som även hittar något värdigt artistigt i denna historia om en man i samhällets periferi, som sjunker längre och längre ner i ett träsk av brott och galenskap.

...the sheer volume of Child Of God’s tastelessness is at least enough to qualify it as unique.

...should get credit for tweaking the book's ending (a no-no in McCarthyland) and for possessing the willpower to make a movie that virtually no one is going to see.

It is utterly fascinating to seeclassic literature re-enacted as if it were theatre, and it takes courage tograb up something as iconic in its darkness as Child of God and just play it straight.

To really appreciate Child of God, one needs to look past Franco's lack of formal poetry and focus on Haze's performance and McCarthy's themes...
