Engaging lead performances greatly enhance a familiar coming-of-age story.

Jack Mathews

RTNew York Daily NewsMay 12, 2006

Vardy draws the moral conflicts in broad strokes, but as a portrait of a man torn between his faith and the urges of his liberated hormones, it has honest depth.

Neil Genzlinger

RTNew York TimesMay 11, 2006

At its core, Adam Vardy's Mendy: A Question of Faith espouses an inanely simplistic worldview ... but it does so with a surprising amount of respect.
