A British documentary that follows two young North Korean girls as they prepare for the Mass Games, the world's largest choreographed gymnastics performance.
Leave your thoughts about A State of Mind.
| New York PostV.A. MusettoHas two especially memorable sequences: the eye-popping Mass Games and a visit by a group of schoolgirls to incredibly beautiful Mount Paekdu, which is revered by Koreans on both sides of the DMZ. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldSubtly suggests it may not be all that much different from the delusions by which other cultures are structured. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanDespite the obvious cultural differences, what we come away with is a surprising sense of familiarity. Not even the widest political chasms, Gordon finds, can eradicate the universal pleasure of a young girl's giggle. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustThe result is a fresh, straightforward portrayal of what the film calls "the least visible ... least known ... least understood ... country in the world." |
| Wall Street JournalJim FusilliThe stadiums and performance halls of Pyongyang become staging grounds for massive, highly choreographed political pageants that make the Nuremberg rallies look like dinner theater. You’ve never seen anything quite like these dazzling displays of groupthink. |
| The Hollywood ReporterRichard James HavisCertainly should appeal to viewers with an interest in current affairs. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxMost mystifying, however, is the bizarre hero-worship surrounding the fingure of Kim Jong Il, a nationwide personality cult that makes Joe Stalin and Chairman Mao look like D-list celebrities. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayBeautifully shot and crisply edited to emphasize the Mass Games' pageantry, but amid the synchronized blocks of performers, Gordon singles out the cranky coaches and giggling schoolgirls, subtly emphasizing how the individual endures even when she's trying hard not to. |
| Village VoiceEd ParkOne leaves the film with the Twilight Zone sense that the place isn't quite the hellhole prior reports have suggested. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyAdmirably non-judgmental docu about life in "the least visited, known, understood country in the world," per Brit director Daniel Gordon, brings a refreshing balance to the usual blind vilification of the country. |
