A sweeping multigenerational story set against the backdrop of the raw, roaring New York City of the late 1980s; adoption, teen pregnancy, drugs, hardcore punk rock, the unbridled optimism and reckless stupidity of the young—and old—are all major elements in this heart-aching tale of the son of diehard hippies and his strange odyssey through the extremes of late 20th century youth culture.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Lacks resonance and a steady directorial hand.
– Barry Hertz,

fresh:
For a movie with extremely loud punk-rock music at its core, "Ten Thousand Saints" is a pleasantly low-key experience; it's a small-scale character drama about learning to live with loss.
– Moira MacDonald,

rotten:
The film shows all the earmarks of a story too heavily compressed; the complications among the entwined families pile up after a while, and the period milieu feels arbitrary.

rotten:
Jude, our narrator, is paper thin. His most memorable qualities are his gangly frame and his bright blue eyes.

It's a sensitive and interesting film.
