Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckThe comedy of errors surrounding the 11 years (and counting) efforts to rebuild the devastated Ground Zero site would be funny if it weren't so tragic. Filmmaker Richard Hankin manages to encompass both aspects in 16 Acres, his strikingly coherent documentary chronicling the tortured process.
Variety - 7/10 by John AndersonAn uncommonly engrossing and articulate documentary.
The Dissolve - 7/10 by Jen Chaney16 Acres is a 9/11 documentary, but not that kind of 9/11 documentary [...] it explores the stew of hope, frustration, ambition, and PR spin-cycling involved in the decade-plus effort to rebuild what terrorists so quickly tore down.
Shared Darkness - 7/10 by Brent SimonA vital and in certain ways even cathartic documentary. It's a story about ego and hubris, yes, but also the better angels of our nature.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Sheri LindenWhether it's following the protests of a deceased firefighter's sister or tracing a humanity-restoring biography of vilified developer Larry Silverstein, Hankin's evenhanded film builds a concise, enlightening account from a decade of confusion.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Neil GenzlingerA documentary that features forthright interviews with major players and gives a good sense of the infighting and pettiness without getting bogged down in it.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Nick PinkertonIt's all here, from the design contests to the farcical series of ribbon-cuttings, including a photo op cornerstone-laying, to the stupid Jeff Koons balloon that recurs as an incidental sight gag.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierIt's been a long, not always linear path to the opening of the new tower, planned for 2014. Yet, as one observer says here, the project has helped heal New York in a very New York way - acrimonious, messy and loud.
User Review - 8/10 by PierLuigi FA strong slap in the face documentary. Sometimes when there's money in the middle, all the rest goes second place. Step-by-step, moments in the big apple reconstruction time
User Review - 8/10 by Chase VA strong slap in the face documentary. Sometimes when there's money in the middle, all the rest goes second place. Step-by-step, moments in the big apple reconstruction time
