	Media	Author	Review
		Amy Nicholson Variety	"Lane sets out to subvert American history with intelligence and wit (...) But she’s also out to entertain"

		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A headline-grabbing central theme and a wry, light-hearted approach"

		Tim Molloy The Wrap	"[It] is much funnier and more inspiring than you might expect a film called 'Hail Satan?' to be (...) Prepare for shocks, but also to think"
		Jake Howell The Film Stage	"A subversive, devilishly tongue-in-cheek, often hilarious exploration of a grassroots movement."
		Anthony O'Connor FilmInk	"[It] isn’t perfect (...) Still, it’s hard not to appreciate these ideological underdogs"
