One cannot help but be moved by Sympathy for Delicious and walk away with a personal sense of grace, no matter how small, along with the desire to be better.

Good intentions and poor execution.

Despite the powerful sense of place, "Sympathy for Delicious" unwinds a narrative thread that grows increasingly tattered and flimsy.

Mark Ruffalo is one of the best actors of his generation, and I'd like to be able to say that, with his directorial debut, Sympathy for Delicious, he's one of its best filmmakers, too. Alas, this semiexpressionist fantasia is a botch.

My impression of the film is that it was like watching a Flannery O'Connor dark comedy of the spirit where the priest-savior cannot find himself and the man-healer cannot cure himself.

Interesting but never compelling...

The script would have better served the character of Delicious if his powers were "scientifically" explained.

Product Description:
This drama marks the directorial debut of celebrated actor Mark Ruffalo. "Delicious" Dean O’Dwyer (screenwriter Christopher Thornton) is a DJ who finds his efforts to be famous derailed when he is suddenly paralyzed. His attempts to find a miracle have a surprising result: when he visits faith healers, he acquires their ability but is not healed himself. His newfound talent may take him on the path to stardom, but at what cost' SYMPATHY FOR DELICIOUS marks the reunion of YOU CAN COUNT ON ME stars Ruffalo and Laura Linney, and also features Juliette Lewis, Noah Emmerich, and Orlando Bloom.
