When the focus narrows to the personal, the film becomes undeniably powerful in its specifics.

You may not leave the theater having switched sides, but you'll probably respect the other side more, and that in itself would be a victory for human life.

For all its provocativeness, Lake of Fire is not a shapeless movie, nor a politically irresponsible one.

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

At 152 minutes, his film doesn't seem long, because at every moment something absorbing, disturbing, depressing or infuriating is happening.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

No one will have an easy time of it with Lake of Fire, a work of profound anguish centered on the abortion rights debate.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
