It’s all rather undifferentiated and scattershot. Full reviewRogerEbert.com
The New York Times
Heavy-handed and more than a little pretentious, Flag Day seems to view John’s volatile fortunes as a metaphor for those of his country.

San Francisco Chronicle
It’s not an exciting film, and it’s not a film with some wider social relevance. But it’s a film that’s wise about people in a way that’s rare.

(A) very watchable and well-made family drama.

IndieWire
Above all, (Flag Day) delivers a solid reminder of Penn’s filmmaking talent, and welcome evidence that it runs in the family.

Flag Day is one of those movies... that functions primarily as an advertisement for the book from which it was adapted.

Empire Magazine
A father-daughter drama with a hazy, Terrence Malick-y romanticism but little emotional connection.
Full review
Little White Lies
A turgid and self-aggrandising family-bonding outing.

Slant Magazine
Flag Day is little more than a near-two-hour montage of tear-streaked faces melodramatically shouting at each other.

Chicago Sun-Times
(A) raw and lovely character drama.

Variety
Penn has become an indelibly fluid craftsman who uses the leaps in time to infuse a story of devastation with lightness and curiosity.

Seattle Times
Clearly, the picture is a labour of love by the Penns, but too often it just feels laboured. There’s a sense of everyone trying too hard.

Synopsis
Jennifer Vogel’s father John was larger than life. As a child, Jennifer marveled at his magnetizing energy and ability to make life feel like a grand adventure. He taught her so much about love and joy, but he also happened to be the most notorious counterfeiter in US history. Based on a true story and directed by Sean Penn, Flag Day stars Penn and his real-life daughter Dylan Penn in an intimate family portrait about a young woman who struggles to rise above the wreckage of her past while reconciling the inescapable bond between a daughter and her father.
