Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews

Toolsidas Junior
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
Vortex and Emergency
Beth Accomando @ KPBS Cinema Junkie
- Excerpt: Vortex” may display his most genuine humanity. But this is a Gaspar Noé form of humanity, so there is nothing warm and fuzzy about it.”
The Will to See
Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: While he narrates “The Will to See” he reminds us that despite man’s inhumanity to man, we still need to care. His take on his experiences and his refusal to become numb and indifferent, make this excellent documentary an inspiration for our time.
