Hail Satan?'s reviews
Media reviews
Variety
"Lane has no problem gently mocking the Temple when its protests muddle their message, like an anti-anti-choice demonstration where the Satanists writhe in baby masks and BDSM chains. ?Hail Satan?? isn?t here to convert the audience to Lucifer though [...] some people may leave transformed".
Indiewire
"Lane?s documentary ? which further cements her status as one of nonfiction cinema?s most fearless and unpredictable filmmakers, and proves as radical in thought as previous features like 'Nuts!' and 'Our Nixon'".
The Hollywood Reporter
"Director Penny Lane meets members of the Satanic Temple, a religious organization dedicated to protecting basic human rights in modern America".
New York Times
"Lane, a connoisseur of stranger-than-fiction weirdness (?Nuts!?) and found surreality (the archival documentary ?Our Nixon?, [...] takes the Satanic Temple seriously. She delves into the history of American religion in the 20th century".
The A.V. Club
"Lane?s lighthearted approach will probably convert more than a few viewers to the TST cause [...] given how entrenched the culture wars have become in America, maybe all Satan needs at this point is a good publicist".
