“FATHER STU is Mark Wahlberg's most heartfelt, moving and extraordinary role of his prolific career. I laugh, I cry, I pray and most importantly left feeling hopeful that life will work out no matter what. He deserves the Oscar for Best Performance. A movie for the new normal with a message of hope, love and redemption. Mel Gibson won me over as Stu Long's father as well as the rest of the young cast of soon-to-be priests.”

"This film is a triumph, a powerhouse performance by Mark Wahlberg"
"An important and moving story we all need right now."
CATHOLIC ANSWERS / Karlo Broussard
“‘Father Stu’ was simply brilliant. It was funny, dramatic, and emotionally moving — both with tears of sadness and joy. It also strikes a perfect balance between portraying Fr. Stu’s pre-conversion rawness and staying within the boundaries of decency for a faith-based film. Mark Wahlberg’s performance was phenomenal, along with his supporting cast. Very seldom do we get a faith-based film that has the high quality of film making that ‘Father Stu’ has. Bravo!”
CATHOLIC PRESS / Lisa Hendey
“Unexpectedly for a movie about a priest, ‘Father Stu’ is a gritty, real-world look at Stuart Long, a man whose life took many unexpected turns. Rated R, this film is not your typical sticky sweet faith-based story. But when it releases before Easter, it will definitely touch hearts and souls, mostly through its unflinching desire not to shy away from life's toughest stuff.”
DALLAS OBSERVER / Liam Gaughan
“Mark Wahlberg delivers one of the most sensitive, restrained performances of his career by bringing his idiosyncratic charisma to an inspiring true story”
DALLAS MOVIE SCREENINGS / Henry Pham
“Father Stu is spiritually emotional and dazzles through the steps of God!”
FOX 32 NEWS CHICAGO / Jake Hamilton
“Mark Wahlberg gives one of the best performances of his career.”

HIGH-DEF DIGEST / Bryan Kluger
"Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, and Jacki Weaver turn in exceptional performances in Father Stu."
IRVING TELEVISION / Susan Kamyab
"An uplifting, inspiring story that will move you to tears."
INSIDE FLORIDA WSFL-TV/CW / Jason Carter

KLIF-FM (HOT 93.3), JJ
“A raw and visceral performance from Mark Wahlberg.”
PATHEOS / Kate O’Hare
“Raw and real and still reverent, ‘Father Stu’ is a truly Catholic movie about a man transformed by love, first for a woman and then for Christ.”
SPIRIT FM 90.5 / Olivia Hoegstrom
“A story of hope and overcoming the challenges of our humanity. You need to see this movie!”
