What we see is harrowing but also exhilarating and tender.
THE NEW YORKER
Madness, in movies, is a tricky state to identify with, but Keane exerts a hair-trigger emotional power. The movie draws us into complicity with someone who may be on the verge of insanity…Kerrigan’s real breakthrough
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Instead of money-on-the-screen and objectified amusement, we get ferocious subjectivity, intensity of focus, bipolar exhalations in our face. Kerrigan makes it look easy…an immersion in first-person intimacy…its raw hopelessness is its universality. If Keane’s life is a hurricane of delusions and terrifying mistakes, it’s nothing we can’t easily imagine for ourselves.
VILLAGE VOICE
Full-bodied and emotionally harrowing…”Keane” is one of the most masterfully crafted truly American independent works of the last few years
INDIEWIRE
Remarkable…sometimes it seems as if the camera isn’t merely inches from Lewis’ head, but somehow inside it.
