The Los Angeles Times s Amy Nicholson wrote about the incompetence of the director were not sure what director Michelle Danner, who plays Hermans defensive mother in an uncredited role, wants us to get besides a reminder that angry boys act out for a host of halfdefined reasons. The Village Voice s Rob Staeger stated that the dialogue is all surface emotions are laid out on the autopsy table for the audience to dissect and analyze, but rarely feel. The New York Times s Jeannette Catsoulis finds that pointing at everything and elucidating nothing, Hello Herman arrives freighted with the antibullying agenda of its director, Michelle Danner. In contrast to other critics, Sam Kashner of Vanity Fair said that Hello Herman is a powerful and important work, a darkly brilliant tone poem about Americas tango with violence and fame. Herman will get under your skin. He may even follow you home. What is certain is you wont soon forget him.citation needed ........
