Reception

[edit]

Xan Brooks of The Guardian gave the film four out of five stars and wrote, "Lurie and Friedler's handling of the material sometimes feels perfunctory, but the tale they tell is purely fascinating."[1] Steve Pond of TheWrap wrote, "The Day the Clown Cried has been talked about for so long that very little in From Darkness to Light comes as a shock, though it does a good job of breaking down a tortured and fascinating journey with numerous twists and turns."[3]
