"Like Michael Moore, Reverend Billy puts himself on the line, exposing corporate pomposity wherever he finds it." San Francisco Independent Film Festival
"The film is a fine piece of not only political and social commentary, but also of cinema verite." University of California, School of Humanities
"A rebellious film." ZITTY-Stadtmagazin Berlin, Germany
"Which American TV station will have the guts to show this film?" Albert Maysles, Filmmaker, New York
"Though the collar is fake, the call is real." Alisa Solomon, Village Voice, New York
"The most hilarious and pointed political theater in New York." Jonathan Kalb, New York Times
"An extraordinary DVD." TRUST agazine, Germany
"What makes Reverend Billy so effective is his mix of savvy street theatre and humor, while Post does an expert job of capturing Talen's intelligence and off-the-wall passion. This informative and hilarious DVD also includes a half-hour interview with Bill in his home. Hallelujah!" Shock Cinema, New York
"Post's most volatile footage involves authorities employing all manner of methods to deal with Reverend Billy, up to and including arrest. Reverend Billy isn't as belligerent as Andy Kaufman or as famous as Michael Moore, so the confrontations have an unpredictable excitement. Best of all are the many moments when German filmmaker Post puts a camera on Reverend Billy's misfires and imperfections. Highly entertaining." Janice Page, Boston Globe
"A forceful portrait of a braveheart fighting against windmills, filmed in the tradition of cinema verit?." The Ex- Berliner Magazine
