Los Angeles Times, Dec. 10, 2015
"'Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors' manages to be clear- and misty-eyed at once"
"Like Parton's music, it manages to be somehow clear- and misty-eyed at once, a mix of the natural and the sentimental"
"...a handsome piece, with some sweet performances."
- Robert Lloyd
Huffington Post, Dec. 10, 2015
"Lind has a winning screen presence. In fact, she dominates the film..."
"Dolly Parton offers to wrap you up for two hours in a world that's cozy, comforting and warm."
- David Hinckley
Washington Post, Dec. 9, 2015
"Leave it to Dolly Parton to bring out an innocuously sweet, faith-based, prime-time Christmas movie right in the middle of a religious and political culture war ..."
"... pure-hearted and credible..."
- Hank Stuever
