	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Grierson LA Weekly	"Although Harrelson displays the right balance of sweetness and quiet instability, Defendor’s genial spirit fails to mesh with the filmmaker’s exploration of darker emotional terrain"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"Modest but likable effort"
		Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Times	"For all its aspirations, the film never meshes into something cohesive or substantial. Its naive earnestness has its charms, but like its title character, Defendor never takes flight."
		The Globe and Mail	"'Defendor' is more a refreshment of a genre than a transcendence of it. But thanks to Harrelson, you'll be a believer."
