Review For Waiting For Lightning |
Little more than an extended piece of lifestyle merchandising, a long montage for monitors in sporting-goods shops. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
The person we want most to hear from, Way himself, is largely missing. Go figure. V.A. Musetto-New York Post
Only for the converted. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
It's enjoyable enough, but how much you like it will depend on how much you like skateboarding and extreme sports. G. Allen Johnson-San Francisco Chronicle
IIf it's a god on a skateboard you want, a god on a skateboard you'll get in this hagiography ... Jon Caramanica-New York Times
Colorful folks and cool stunts abound, but casual viewers may still utter a big "Why?" Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
While providing a fantastically visual diversion for aspiring skateboarders, this documentary lacks any personal insight into or commentary about legendary Danny Way. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
It's quite astounding to see Way taking huge spills at some of his jumps only to get back on his board and try again. Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net
Another descendant of Stacy Peralta's influential Dogtown and Z-Boys, but more stylish and engaging than most of its less inquisitive, like-minded, hagiographic stunt spectaculars. Brent Simon-Shockya.com
Director Jacob Rosenberg interviews Way and many of his friends, relations and peers, but he never digs too deeply or draws out of them much more than the clichéd "this is what he was born to do" talking points. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
The line between fearlessness and idiocy can be a thin one, especially in this sport, and the doc never gets too far under Way's skin. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
Even without its central subject actually weighing in, this likeably scruffy documentary tells you a lot about the impetus behind shredding and being gnarly. David Noh-Film Journal International
Waiting for Lightning is a true underdog story that will make anyone feel invincible, even for just 90 minutes. Chase Whale-Twitch
Rosenberg's approach is heavy with archival footage and interviews, yet oddly features almost nothing from Way himself; his puzzling absence for most of the film turns the project into less of a biography than a one-note hagiography. Nick Schager-Time Out New York
Rosenberg has succeeded in putting together a compelling story of a man, who through many defeats, has always risen to success. Noah Lee-Film Threat
With Danny Way almost never weighing in directly, the film's attempts to portray his story as an inspirational tale of triumph over adversity scarcely registers. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine
It's not many Americans whose names are engraved on the Great Wall of China. Daredevil Danny May certainly deserves the honor. Get stoked. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
